Active Minds' Send Silence Packing® is a powerful traveling exhibit designed to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. The event features backpacks arranged in public spaces, each representing a life lost to suicide, often accompanied by personal stories from loved ones.
The goal is to "send silence packing" by sparking conversation, reducing stigma around mental health struggles, and encouraging people to seek help. The visual impact and shared stories create a compelling call to action for mental wellness, support, and connection.
Location: Brookhaven Campus - Courtyard
