We have the amazing opportunity to meet so many of you, so we thought, why not have you meet each other? Saint Louis University was gracious enough to kick this off and we’ll pick it back up with Kearney. Here’s how it works: The person before you introduces themselves and then gets to ask the next round of questions. We’ll have the next school answer the questions and we’ll pass them on to the next chapter. Check back to view the answers to these questions after University of Nebraska at Kearney, it should be interesting!

The SLU Chapter of Active Minds was just started this year, 2009-2010, which is sadly my senior year. I was really excited to help get this group started thought, and I’m so excited that what our new chapter was able to be one of the send silence packing stops. I will be pursuing a Masters of Social Work at Tulane University next year and I’m really interested in mental health advocacy work. I’m so glad I was able to be involved with Active Minds this year! My question for Kearney is:
How strong is mental health advocacy in the state of Nebraska, and how would you go about making it stronger?
Beth McMillan, Senior

I joined Active Minds to help foster a better environment for people to discuss their mental health issues and to understand that they are not alone. I am a Psychology and Spanish double major and I will be a bilingual teacher in Kansas City next year through Teach for America.

Sebrina Campbell, Freshman
Current Secretary of Active Minds and next year’s President
I joined active minds because I dealt with depression in middle school and I was able to overcome it. My best friends was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder and dealt with a lot of problems with her mental health. I want to help those that have trouble with their mental health and try to get rid of the negative stigma associated with it.
