ZBT Elon is proud to be working with student groups from around the US to help improve mental health on campuses through raising funds for the 'Move 4 Mental Health' and we need YOUR help to reach our goal!

Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 10- 24? That stigma is considered to be the largest barrier to students seeking help for mental illnesses on undergrad campuses? Many experiencing mental health challenges are too afraid to seek help from family, friends or health professionals due to the effects of stigma, fear of discrimination and shame. Many are not aware that effective treatments exist and things can get better.

For a group of individuals who already carry such a heavy burden, stigma is an unacceptable addition to their pain and something which prevents them from seeking the help they need. Please help us support this much needed movement in ending stigma, reducing suffering and saving lives by helping us achieve our fundraising goal.
