What is Active
Minds?
Active Minds at ASU is a student
organization that aims to reduce
the stigma that surrounds mental
health issues and promote aware-
ness of mental health. Through
campus wide events the organiza-
tion works to inform students
and faculty of available services
both on campus and in
the community. The
organization creates a
forum for students
and members of the
community to have an
open discussion regarding mental
health issues.

Our Mission
Active Minds was founded by
Alison Malcom when she was a
junior at UPENN after the suicide
of her older brother, Brian. Ali-
son recognized that Brian’s story
is the story of thousands of young
people who suffer in silence;
who, despite their large numbers,
think they are totally alone. A
majority of mental illnesses start
between ages 14 and 24 when
teens and young adults are in
school, and suicide is the second
leading cause of death for college
students. The mission of Active
Minds is to spread awareness of
mental health and important re-
sources for people living with
mental illness.
