“In 2021, dmax foundation added 2 new student-led mental health dmax clubs on college campuses for students to get together and talk about how they are doing, how their friends are doing, and how they can help each other. Dmax clubs are environments for students to talk about whatever is on their minds. Our dmax club student survey found that students rated the dmax club environment highly, especially in the areas of trust and respect, safety to explore feelings, and being listened to and cared for, with scores of good to excellent by over 90% of respondents. Dmax clubs continued to offer trusting environments even during covid-19 when students engaged with each other in both virtual and in-person meetings. Students also reported that dmax clubs had a positive impact on several aspects of their lives including engagement in extracurricular activities, their relationships with others, their feelings about outlook on their futures, and their feelings about themselves. Dmax foundation hosted the 7th annual educational event entitled "mental health and racism- conversations that matter" with two prominent speakers in the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In addition, a dmax club student shared her mental health journey, from the point of view of someone of latino descent. Dmax foundation continued to host its quarterly series, dmax students speak, where dmax club students share their mental health journeys with a virtual audience. The students are empowered by their ability to share their story with others, while the audience is able to recognize that they are not alone in their struggles. In addition, dmax continued our recently created series called dmax students speak where dmax club students share their mental health journeys to a virtual audience. Students are empowered to be able to share how they are really doing, and the audience can recognize that no one is alone in their struggles. These events also host a guest speaker who talks about mental health from varying perspectives and who moderates the event. Per instructions, revenues and expenses do not include 23,624 in donated computer services and legal fees.”
