We invite our employee-owners to join us in our annual Operation Give Back event supporting Active Minds as chosen by fellow employee-owner Kevin Reigstad. Active Minds is the nation’s premier nonprofit organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults. They are a national leader for young adult mental health advocacy and suicide prevention. Headquartered in Washington, DC, Active Minds brings to mental health what no other organization can — the voice of young people who are disproportionately affected by mental illnesses and the way mental health is addressed on campuses and in society at large.
Now in its nineteenth year, Active Minds is present in more than 1,000 schools, communities and workplaces nationwide, including over 600 student-led chapters. Their programs and services empower young adults to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, create communities of support, and ultimately save lives.
You can also support this organization by walking, running, or biking in the 250-mile Charity Miles Challenge via the Charity Miles app. For details on our corporate challenges and how to sign-up, please visit the Employee Ownership page on DCS Online.
Let's help Active Minds work to change the culture around mental health!
