What is Send Silence Packing?
Send Silence Packing® is a traveling public education display of more than 500 backpacks with the goal of ending silence around mental health and suicide and connecting visitors to resources for support and action. 

This acclaimed program from Active Minds, Inc. aims to promote a positive dialogue about mental health on college campuses with messages such as “you are not alone” and “keep going, the world needs you here!”
