Who we are
Active Minds UCLA is a mental health advocacy group dedicated to changing the conversation about mental health and de-stigmatizing mental illness throughout the UCLA campus and the greater Los Angeles community.
As the mental health committee under the USAC Student Wellness Commission, we focus on providing information on mental health resources, spreading awareness on mental illness, and advocating for better mental health care on campus. We are comprised of five committees: Education, Events, Workshops, Advocacy, and Outreach. Each quarter, we hold workshops and events on campus and on the hill, as well as co-program with other campus organizations.
Active Minds is also a national organization, with thousands of chapters across the nation (and some abroad too)! Our chapter here at UCLA is the largest in the nation.
By changing the conversation about mental health we can create a better system for supporting those who need the help, and allow for everyone to understand that we all have mental health, and should take care of it accordingly.
