SUICIDE is the SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH for young adults. HALF of students report being DEPRESSED OR ANXIOUS amid the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4 in 5 adults report the coronavirus pandemic as a SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF STRESS, while 3 in 5 report being OVERWHELMED by the number of issues America faces. Dear Friends, It has been a full year since COVID-19 disrupted life as we knew it and many of us are still experiencing hardships, losses, and an increased toll on our mental health. During this time, our young adult constituency has also been adversely impacted by racial unrest and political divisiveness. Through all of this, Active Minds stayed strong and focused, evolving to provide HALF of all mental health issues begin by age 14. the tools needed to enhance young adult wellness, no matter what the year brought them. We innovated and reimagined. And we led. THREE QUARTERS begin by age 24. We created virtual spaces where members of our community could gather safely to learn how to support their own needs and those of their friends, family and colleagues. Our network of advocates in high schools, on college campuses, and in work spaces ensured that even in our online and virtual settings the message THIS IS WHY that it’s okay to not be okay was heard loud and clear. we have to change the conversation. ACTIVE MINDS WILL CONTINUE to keep the country’s attention on the very important mental health culture changes underway. The conversation about mental health and its new place at the center of the national dialogue is critical... but will only stay at the top of the list of priorities if we keep it there. I hope you will read through this impact report to find out how Active Minds continues to change lives. It is because of friends, volunteers, donors and mental health advocates like you that we can continue to drive our movement forward for those who need it most. Thank you. Sincerely,

Your Voice is Your Power To help establish campus cultures that reflect and promote BIPOC student mental health —­ a demographic statistically less likely to receive mental health support than their white peers — Your Voice is Your Power launched in the fall with partnership from just. Transforming First-Year Experiences We worked with the National Resource Center to create recommendations for institutions to kick off conversations about mental health right away during First-Year Experience programs, setting a sense of support and understanding from day-one on campus.

High School-Focused PSA: It’s Okay High schoolers told us early in the pandemic that they didn’t feel the mental health messages circulating at the time represented their experience.

Active Minds @Work, our newest program offering that launched in 2019, supported companies like Niantic, Meltwater, and City Year who saw the value of creating a mental health culture of colleague- to-colleague, and even manager-to-employee, in addition to instituting company policies and benefits that serve their employees. Thanks to support from the Bruce C. Abrams Foundation, this program continues to grow and iterate as more employees return to the workplace in 2021. With hospitality workplaces hit especially hard by safety protocols of the COVID-19 pandemic, Active Minds also partnered in 2020 with Optum to create a guide specifically for restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and hotels ­— all major employers of young adults — to address the mental wellbeing of their front-line employees.

THE KEEFER FAMILY IS ONE EXAMPLE OF THE MANY WAYS WE SUPPORTED SURVIVING FAMILIES IN 2020 AND OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS.

Remembering a Loved Son After losing Sean to suicide, the Keefer family — dad Chris, mom Christine, and sisters Madison and Lindsey — wanted to remember Sean, and help ensure others didn’t have to go through the type of pain that they experienced. They started giving to Active Minds, and invited their community to join them. They believed that the Active Minds model for creating an empathetic culture through supportive messaging and actionable resources for young adults offered a different way to understand mental health struggles and, most importantly, to see a path forward.

They shared Sean’s story to help others who are struggling. Sean is featured in our latest innovation in suicide prevention education, Send Silence Packing®: Behind the Backpacks. This digital experience is a complement to our iconic Send Silence Packing exhibit as well as a stand-alone tool that can be accessed anywhere anytime. Visitors to this online gallery learn about suicide’s impact, how their everyday actions can help to create a new and better culture around mental health with reduced suicide rates, and can share their own message of hope by answering the simple question: what would you say to someone who’s struggling? This immersive experience is supported by generous funding from the RSM US Foundation. Financials

Note: financials cover July 1, 2019 — June 30, 2020 HONORING 20 YEARS My Brother Brian My brother Brian was wickedly smart, had an amazing, dry wit, an unexpectedly low bass singing voice, a terrible layup, and was a great friend. He made you laugh, challenged what you knew or thought you knew, and just made you feel good. He was my other half.

Brian died by suicide in March, 2000. I was suddenly alone. The chaos in my life and in my head after Brian’s death was uncomfortable and painful. But it was in the chaos that I learned the most important lesson — it's okay to not be okay. And it was in this discomfort that Active Minds was born to honor Brian’s struggle and create better paths for others who struggle.

Brian’s death made it inexplicably clear that mental health must be spoken about and treated the same way we treat all other health issues — openly and honestly.

And when our world falls apart, we need to know that piece by piece we can rebuild it — together. That is how I’ve gotten through these past 20 years. The people I’ve met and that have joined me in the Active Minds community, the stories I’ve heard from so many of you, and the times I am still able to remember, have kept Brian with me. — ALISON FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2001 S St. NW, Suite 630 Washington, DC 20009 activeminds.org 202.332.9595 [email protected]
