How it Works



Peer-Centered Booths

Interactive booths are run by a variety of student organizations, campus departments, and community partners, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer messaging.



Festive Atmosphere

Food, music, and engaging activities make for an inviting, festival-like environment that draws students in and creates a positive association with talking about mental health.



Prizes & Giveaways

Incentivized participation leads to increased attendance and higher engagement levels. Students collect stamps at each booth and can enter to win a prize.

Planning Made Simple

Participating schools receive a complete program e-toolkit and virtual coaching to take the guesswork out of planning and put the focus on achieving positive outcomes.
