Active Minds, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization and the
leading voice in college student mental health. PostSecretU is one
of Active Minds' many programs for students. Created by Frank
Warren, the program supports Active Minds' efforts to change the
perception about mental health and wellness on college
campuses.
"PostSecretU brings people together and allows those who have
felt isolated or alone to connect to a larger group," says Frank
Warren. "It starts a conversation that brings people together."
Active Minds hopes the PostSecretU program will help create a
community of support on campus where students can share their
thoughts, feelings and fears more freely.
