Send Silence Packing: Beyond the Backpacks

Source: Active Minds
Resource Type: Multimedia
Topics: Mental Health, Suicide Prevention
Population Focus: Resources for Campuses & Professionals
View Resource

Active Minds’ Send Silence Packing® exhibit has traveled the country for over a decade, reaching close to a million individuals, to end the silence that surrounds mental health and suicide and connect visitors with resources for support and action. Thanks to generous support from RSM Global, Beyond the Backpacks will now complement the traveling exhibit as an immersive digital experience with expanded access to our iconic suicide-prevention resources. We each have a part to play in preventing suicide. By speaking out and changing the conversation about mental health from one dominated by stigma and ignorance to one with support and understanding, we can save lives.
