Changing the conversation about mental health
We Believe‌ By empowering the next generation to speak openly and to act, we can end the silence and change the conversation about mental health for everyone.
Dear Friends A cultural shift is underway, and Active Minds is leading the change. In 2018–2019 more than ever before we have witnessed heightened engagement from new partners, new high-profile ambassadors, and a wider community of advocates to talk about mental health. Together, we are working to proclaim the importance of this movement, and to join our efforts to profoundly change the conversation about mental health. This conversation is timely: in 2019 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data demonstrating a tragic 56% increase in deaths by suicide among young people ages 10–24 (from 2007 to 2017). Experts believe that work like that of Active Minds and our peers has slowed this increase, but fully reversing these statistics will take everyone changing the way we talk about, value, and promote mental health. The key message from Active Minds remains clear: you don’t have to be an expert to support a friend or loved one who is struggling, you just have to be there. This simple reminder was at the core of our work in 2019, particularly with the launch of Active Minds’ new Validate-AppreciateRefer (V-A-R) conversation tool for everyday struggles. Simple yet effective tools like V-A-R help change a cultural attitude toward mental health and give everyone the ability to be a part of a community of support, and the confidence to seek the care they need and deserve. Thank you for being one of our powerful voices sharing the message, “the world needs you here,” and for lending your perspective to the conversation about mental health.

Changing the conversation about mental health requires many voices. This year brought new ones to our Active Minds network. New partners In 2019, Active Minds welcomed six national fraternity and sorority partners to our work. Together with Pi Kappa Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Nu, and Zeta Tau Alpha—who comprise the Harm Reduction Alliance—and thanks to funding from the Bruce C. Abrams Foundation, we revamped our popular V-A-R conversation guide and launched new resources for Greek organizations, high schools, and our general network. Active Minds was also voted to be a philanthropic partner for Alpha Sigma Phi, and a mission partner for Sigma Beta Rho. Active Minds welcomed new corporate partners to the movement to change the culture around mental health. Companies and their foundations including Color Street Foundation, just., Riot Games, and Schmidt’s Naturals all partnered to bring actionable tools and informational events to young adults nationwide.

Abraham Sculley Abraham fell into a deep depression as a freshman at college, but had never talked about mental health growing up in a Jamaican American household, nor how to seek help. He took a 3-month hiatus from school, returned and completed his degree, and his depression became the catalyst for his purpose: he is now a mental health advocate, speaking around the country about his life, his story, and his passion for mental health awareness.

Diana Chao Diana was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 13 and is a suicide attempt survivor and suicide loss survivor. Diana shares with audiences what it was like growing up below the poverty line with parents who didn’t speak English, and the power that even the smallest acts of kindness have had on her life.

In Memory of Sue Cimbricz
“
After her son, Sam, died by suicide, Sue Cimbricz put her whole self into changing the culture around mental health. There wasn’t an event, a board meeting, or a conversation that Sue didn’t join—with all her heart. Her friends and family became Active Minds’ friends and family, and our biggest supporters. She cared deeply for young adults, for her own sons Zack and Sam, and for her extended family at Active Minds. We lost a champion when Sue died of pancreatic cancer in early 2020. Active Minds is forever changed because of her, and we miss her deeply.
