For 15 years, I've known it in my gut. Now we have proof from a world renowned research institution. If I could get up on my rooftop right now and scream, I would. Active Minds changes lives. So proud of this org and this team!! https://t.co/SZ0TEjh3sD

Over the last few years, Active Minds has been part of a longitudinal study conducted by @RANDCorporation to measure our impact on student mental health and behaviors. The results, published today in @JAACAP, couldn’t be more positive! Thread 👇

@dcbillsmith, @IAmInseparable, @AlisonMalmon, @Active_Minds, @RyanForRecovery, and @MobilizeRecover are taking the #A4P stage by storm, discussing what it takes to get a bill on a governor's desk, storytelling, and getting youth to the table.

School is right around the corner, but America’s kids – battered by COVID and school shootings – are decidedly not alright.

FTW's @elliotcwilliams & @yochidreazen spoke w/ @Active_Minds ED @AlisonMalmon about the mental health crisis facing our kids. https://t.co/QPSShNV2ft

"...what I can tell you is that I’ve felt these feelings before and I have survived them."

An extraordinary day! To be recognized by MacKenzie Scott in this way validates all we've been doing - and we're ready for what's ahead.
I can't wait for our amazing team to put this funding to use, toward continued smart and effective culture change around mental health. Proud!

[Active Minds @Active_Minds]

As a recipient of MacKenzie Scott's latest round of funding, we will be able to expedite our growth plans and test compelling new programs with the potential to measurably change the way the nation talks about mental health. More on this exciting news👇

After being so taken by the memorial he posted for his son Tommy earlier this year, I was honored when Congressman Jamie Raskin agreed to sit down with me (for what I think was his first such public conversation), loss survivor to loss survivor. ⬇️

[Active Minds @Active_Minds]

Our founder, Alison, recently sat down with @RepRaskin – they discussed the future of mental health, reflected on suicide survivor loss, and considered questions like "How do we resume life amidst grief?"

[Alison Malmon @AlisonMalmon]

Been thinking a lot about ripples lately. 20 years ago I craved finding another young adult sibling survivor. Anyone. Recently I got to sit down with Sam, who lost her brother to suicide a couple of years ago, and is now doing a podcast in his memory. 🌊.

A message from our founder and executive director, @AlisonMalmon. ⬇️

[Active Minds @Active_Minds]

“Oftentimes, high school students are not taught to recognize that what they’re dealing with might be a struggle that they can’t just pull themselves out of, but it’s an actual diagnosable disorder that needs & deserves help & treatment.” - @AlisonMalmon

Active Minds Conference kicked off today! Wish we could have been in person, but being casted to your tv @KelseyPacetti and Molly Burger was a pretty fun alternative 😁

[Active Minds @Active_Minds]

Today, do your best to prioritize what you need.

Some ideas ⬇️
1. Find at least one quiet moment
2. Have a conversation about how you are feeling
3. Do at least one thing to tell yourself that you matter
4. Give yourself permission to set boundaries
