My first session with livewell was a success. The questions were answered to the best of my ability and with honesty. I need to focus more on exercising on a weekly basis. To do so, I will create a schedule and plan accordingly to stick up with it even though time management is my biggest issue. I will be focusing more on my core muscles and I am confident that I can make it happen.

After reading this article and viewing the video, I believe that the discussion of mental health should be brought to the attention of middle schools students throughout college. Hopefully mental health can become a new curriculum in the public school system across America. I also like the fact that mental health does not discriminate against race, creed, color , origin, nationality or religious belief. Another reason why I think the movement of active minds will continue to prosper in all their endeavors is because in the video you were able to see students from different universities discussing the same challenges that they are trying to cope with and find an answer. I believe this is amazing.

I have never thought about Active Minds until I had to check their website out. I was surprised to see how courageous the founder was. It has never been easy to overcome depression and mental health issues especially when it is brought by the loss of a family member. Furthermore, I see how Active Minds has evolved over the past decade to become the voice of young adult mental health advocacy nationwide with over 400 campus chapters, hundreds of thousands of young adults all across the country beneficiating from the Active minds model (according to CNN, NYTimes). I also feel that it is vital to have a better idea on how to manage not only the physical aspect of the body, but also the mind, because they both work together.
