Ivy League Mental Health Coalition

Gender minority individuals have higher rates of homelessness, unemployment, mental and physical illness, sexual abuse, and discrimination.

Thank you so much to Ana Progovac from Health Equity Research Lab for speaking on these heartbreaking statistics, and thank you for continuing your research on such an underrepresented population.

Cornell Minds Matter, thank you so much for coming all the way out here! We are so lucky to have people as wonderful as you all advocating for mental health

Our CMM members had a great time representing Cornell at the 5th Annual Ivy League Mental Health Conference at Harvard University, which was hosted by Harvard SMHL! The theme was Diversity & Mental Health, and we are looking forward to continuing to work with the Ivy League Mental Health Coalition!

Yesterday, we kicked off a 13 hour day with a delicious breakfast from Black Sheep Bagel Cafe and much-need coffee from Dunkin'. Thank you to everyone for showing bright and early!

Thank you so much to Jennifer Erickson and Kaila Braley from MindWise for speaking on strategies to improve marketing and campus outreach!

Your presentation generated so much discussion and creativity. As peer educators, it is essential that we advertise more effectively as to spread awareness of the resources available to treat mental illness and reduce stigma. Thank you!

As co-president of the Harvard Student Mental Health Liaisons, I want to thank my co-president for being my rock through planning all of this. I'm so proud of you, and honestly, I'm proud of us. Thank you so much to all the delegates who traveled so far to be here--it wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of you. -Kat Boit

Medical leave policy in the Ivy League is broken. And yet most of the policy changes suggested by the Ruderman Foundation report and by students have not been implemented. When will this change?

'It felt very much like a punishment': Medical leave at Dartmouth In spring 2018, a student visited her friend Jeremy Hadfield ’21’s room after not hearing from him for several days and found a carefully-crafted su***de note on his desk.

Harvard here! Just putting it on everyone's radar that we've begun planning the 5th Annual Ivy League Mental Health Conference, and we'll be sure to keep you all updated 💚
