Alison
Malmon was a freshman when she got a call from her mother: Her fun, outgoing
older brother, Brian, had taken his own 1.
When
Malmon returned to school after Brian's funeral that spring of 2000, she was
still 2 . But when she looked
for help on campus, there was nobody to 3Back then, said Malmon, "Students
weren't encouraged
to talk about their worries about 4 . I started 5 on the fact that there was a great need to
give help."
She was
only 19 and had no 6 with mental health issues, but that didn't 7 her from launching Open Minds at Penn. Now, 20 years later
and with a new name - Active Minds - it is
the largest young adult mental health advocacy 8 in America. "What V m most 9 by is that my
generation and the generations coming behind me are taking on mental health as
a social justice 10" says Malmon. "Our tools are changing not only their campuses,
but they're 11 their families too."
Active
Minds' techniques are more 12 than ever. A survey found that 45 percent of
students reported feeling so 13 in the previous months that it was difficult
to function; 66 percent felt overwhelming anxiety; and 13 percent 14 considered suicide (自杀).
Malmon's
goal has always been to 15 the prejudice against mental illness, the language
and 16the word we use to talk about it. Take the word suicide for
example. You don't say" commit a heart attack or cancer", 17 you will say "commit suicide".
Suicide is the only death where we use that pejorative (贬低 的) word, she says. "If we take that 18 out of our
conversation, we can make significant changes in how we 19 suicide to the point. If we change, we can
give the people the20 they reach out for."
