Support Mental Health Education Through AXON.
Donation protected
Mental health is something that affects all of us, and it is as important as physical health. AXON was founded on this vision - to enrich lives through mental health education. May is mental health awareness month and we are running this campaign to support AXON’s mission.
Dedicated to increasing awareness about the neuroscience, psychology, and mental health fields, AXON as an educational non-profit organization registered in Tennessee has catered to over 105 students from minority-serving institutions since our founding in fall 2022. Our first chapter was created at Fisk University, a predominantly black institution in Nashville, Tennessee USA, where we were crowned as the educational organization of the year in 2023. With your donation, we will be able to increase our reach to other college campuses and expand our impact. We believe everyone should have access to education on mental health, neuroscience, and psychology so that we can understand how best to navigate the world we live in. How well we are in our minds will determine how well we show up in everyday life.
In our first year of running, we have connected resource persons from institutions across the United States, including Meharry Medical College, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins Medicine and Fisk University, to underrepresented students in the neuroscience and psychology fields, to give talks to them on career pathways as well as contemporary concepts in these fields. As a result of these seminars, multiple members of AXON are headed to Summer 2023 neuroscience internships at top institutions like Johns Hopkins University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We have also fundraised for scholarships for low-income students.
All funds raised from this campaign will be used to support our growth and reach in ensuring that more students who come from institutions with little to no education in neuroscience, psychology, and mental health are given a chance to explore and possibly pursue careers in such fields.
