Today's Message
Posted: Tuesday, January 24, 2012Active Minds: Buffalo State Student Mental Health Awareness Group - Encourage Your Students to Get Involved!
Active Minds started its founding year at Buffalo State in spring 2010, and it has quickly made its presence known through several innovative initiatives such as the BeSeCret Community Art Project and Send Silence Packing, and through partnerships with several organizations and offices such as Health Promotions, Student Life, and the Counseling Center.
Active Minds is one of 330 official chapters of the national Active Minds organization. Please encourage students to check it out at this semester's first general meeting on Tuesday, January 31, at 12:15 p.m. in Classroom Building B119.
There are rewarding opportunities to spread the conversation at Buffalo State regarding mental health and to decrease the stigma associated with mental health concerns and receiving support, as well as to increase the awareness of mental health resources. Students interested in leadership, empowerment, and connecting with others will really enjoy their involvement with Active Minds. See the Buffalo State Active Minds Facebook page for more information. Any student who is interested in the group but is unable to attend the first meeting should contact Suzanne Johnson, LCSW-R, at counselingcenter@buffalostate.edu.
