Active Minds at IUPUI

I recognized the need for peer advocacy in my university and helped found Active Minds to develop a safe space for students to contend with mental health issues and seek critical non-medical support that is necessary for a culture of well-being. Through collaborating with CAPS, Active Minds at IUPUI officially launched in Spring 2020, engaging with mindfulness meetings in physical, and more recently, in virtual spaces. As a Philanthropic Studies major, I value the connections forged between the nonprofit sector and the medical community to address health issues from a

holistic perspective.
