Active Minds at Lafayette College is one of over 240 Active Minds chapters on college campuses across the nation. Active Minds at Lafayette strives to raise mental health awareness and change the conversation about mental health issues on Lafayette’s campus through various events, speakers, and activities. We hope to serve as a point of reference about mental illness for students in hopes of reducing the stigma on our campus. We work to increase students’ awareness of mental health issues, provide information and resources regarding mental health and mental illness, encourage students to seek help as soon as it is needed, and serve as liaison between students and the mental health community.
