Clubs and Organizations
Active Minds is a nonprofit organization supporting mental health awareness through education, research, and advocacy. Active Minds seeks to open up conversations about mental health for young adults ages 14 - 25.
The CNM Active Minds Chapter is a powerful force in the mental health movement. CNM students work to increase mental health awareness on all campuses, promote positive mental health, educate their peers about the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, and encourage students to reach out for help when needed. Chapters play an important role in referring students to resources and starting conversations about this important topic.
Many members are students with an interest in mental health. We encourage students studying psychology, nursing, or human services to get involved, but anyone can join.
Are you interested in getting involved with mental health education on campus? Contact Wellness CNM to learn more.
