Impact in the Community

  • 350 students and advisors from 25 high schools' Active Minds chapters attended the April 13th KyleCares conference to learn from experts, share ideas, inspire each other and engage in open and honest mental health conversations. SVF funded keynote speaker Ivy Watts and provided every attendee with a copy of her book focused on finding mental wellness and self love.
  • (Pictured above): Board members Lisa Daley and Tanya Benoit presented on our organization's behalf, and even had the opportunity to meet famed Patriots players and mental health advocacy supporters.
