WE MIND Social Toolkit

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’d love for you to co-create the campaign with us. Here are some templates and suggestions for getting started.

The Campaign

When youth come together, transformation happens. Individual experiences turn into collective power, ensuring you are not only heard, but actively included in shaping the conversations and solutions that affect your well-being.

Throughout the month of May, join our social-led campaign by Active Minds that puts youth in the driver’s seat, by elevating youth voices and ideas, and mobilizing young people to become mental health advocates.

The Ask

As youth leaders, we’d love for you to co-create the campaign with us, both through submitting photos and quotes that we’ll use on the Active Minds account, as well as by posting your own content — more information below.
