Active Minds Club
Students Lead the Way in Mental Health
The Active Minds club at MVC is a campus chapter of Active Minds, the nation's leading nonprofit organization promoting mental health awareness and education for young adults. Together, we can change the conversation about mental health. The Active Minds Club collaborates with MVC's Wellness Center to promote mental wellness and suicide prevention.
