This grant opportunity is open to student-run clubs from middle schools, high schools, and college campuses in California.

This year we have designed the Mental Health Awareness Event-in-a-Box! Applicants are asked to choose ONE of the event box options from below and host the activity event at the school during the month of May. Here are the choices:
- Host a Mental Health Movie Event. From a list provided, choose one feature length film and one Directing Change short PSA film. A guided group discussion about the films and mental health will follow. Each Mind Matters resources and goodies for give-aways included!
- Host a Self-Care Scavenger Hunt. A great opportunity for interaction and movement where students search around campus to find locations to support self-care. List of clues to search for and prizes for winners are included!
Whichever event-in-a-box you chose, we will provide you with supplies and step-by-step instructions needed to make the activity a success, including materials for a resource table, prizes for winners, Each Mind Matters swag to give away, and funds to pay for food or extra supplies.
