live well is a good program for college students especially the ones that have family and a full-time job.  it is not easy to deal with especially the students who intends to major in sciences.  College students need somewhere to express their feelings or a program that can help them the better way to manage their stress and break their bad habits.  After the fist section, i am on contemplation stage, I planning to make so drastic change, the first thing no more candy and I will try to take the stairs more often.

Active Minds is a non-profit organization that recognizes mental illnesses. It’s creator, Alison Malmon, established the organization following the suicide of her brother who suffered from a mental illness in silence. Active Minds has become an advocate for mental illness for young adults all across the nation. It provides useful tools such as a complete page of mental health resources and a National Suicide Prevention Hotline for those severely suffering and in need of immediate help. For those who want to contribute to the cause, it offers volunteer opportunities, internships and careers with the organization. Active Minds seems like a great idea where young adults can gain support and not feel alone. It provides resources that they can access, especially if they are suffering in silence. College students face some of the toughest times dealing with the stresses of classes, relationships, future plans and much more. An organization like Active Minds serves as a good support system. It’s also good for families to gain information if they suspect someone is struggling.

Active mind is a non profitable organization which is founded by Alison Malmon. It is an organization which is work for mental health development of youth and teen who has suffered from depression. First of all its name was Open mind then it renamed Active Minds Inc. on 2003 and getting more popularity among the youth.

Active mind is a nonprofit organization devoted to educating about mental health awareness among college students. Mental health is a very interesting topic but at the same time is difficult to deal with when someone very close is having difficulties coping with a mental health problem. Active mind promotes mental health awareness and makes people realize that there is nothing wrong about helping a friend who you are concerned about.  Friends are often the ones who first notice that something is making you unhappy. For this reason I think it is very nice to have an organization that focuses on educating students about mental health services availability and how they can take advantage of these services.

After  visiting the Active Minds website, I learned that Active Minds is a non profit organization that helps educate students in college about mental illnesses. Specifically mental illness that derive from the stressful workload of the college life style. The organization is to inform students, but also to provide support for those who might be suffering from the stressful weight of college and life. Students can greatly benefit from this organization to either help them selves or to help others!

As a part of assignment, I researched about the active-mind organization. It is great that it helps students with mental health illness which prevent suicide attempt. Allison founded of this non-profit Organization after her older brother Committed suicide. Alison Malmon wanted to helps student with the stigma of mental illness and encourage them to seek it early. So, they can prevent future tragedies like the one that took her brother’s life. Active mind states that 80-90% of college student who committed suicide were not receiving any counseling. So Active mind want filled the gap between student and Counselling.
