Active Minds

Who We Are

The Active Minds Chapter at Palomar College is part of a national network of students on 700+ campuses revolutionizing the conversation about mental health under Active Minds. We’re not only serious about support but we’re here to have fun too!

Disclaimer

As mental health is a delicate and important matter, we do wish to emphasize that we’re not a support group or clinicians. We’re simply a group of college students united by our passion to raise awareness and create a fun time together!

Join Us

Join us in our mission for advocating for mental health, destimatizing the conversation here at Palomar College, creating a safe space for students to be themselves and promoting self-care learning and practices!
