Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death in teens and young adults between the ages of 10 and 34?
How about that only 15% of people get the mental health treatment they desperately need?

What if?

What if those students wrestling privately with mental health challenges knew that they were not alone? What if they didn’t feel shame, despair, hopelessness or fear? What if they had hope that effective treatments exist? What if they sought help?

Ignite's vision is to create a world where EVERY teen and young adult has the knowledge, access to resources, and supportive community needed to avoid, overcome, or effectively manage mental health challenges. 

Help end the epidemic

Funds raised will not only help Ignite Campus' Change Maker network setup on more campuses but also help the multifaceted #Change-The-Norm campaign focusing on early intervention; changing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors surrounding mental health to end stigma, promote engagement in help seeking behaviors and create hope.

This is why activity hour matters, let it serve as a reminder of how important it is to take care of our mental health.
