Youth Council for A.S.K. — Acknowledge, Support, Keep-in-Touch

In a revolutionary partnership Active Minds and SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios have partnered with 10 young mental health advocates and activists from diverse backgrounds — some of whom participated in MTVE’s first-ever Mental Health Youth Action Forum in coordination with the Biden-Harris Administration in Spring 2022 — to provide input on the most pressing mental health concerns and needs directly from the youth our A.S.K. campaign aims to serve with a focus on young BIPOC and LGBTQ+ young adults.

MEASURE Learning Community

The MEASURE (Mobilizing and Empowering Active Minds Students Using Research and Evaluation) Learning Community is a nine-week program where six youth and young adults analyze and provide feedback on Active Minds’ data collection and dissemination strategies to improve how Active Minds shares its award-winning research.

Your Voice is Your Power Advisory Board

This Advisory Board was created to meet the needs of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth and young adults and develop resources that support self-advocacy, interpersonal advocacy, and community and institutional advocacy efforts.
