Who are we?
MIST was started in the spring of 2019 by high school students from St Louis, Missouri with the goal of reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues by educating students across the world about the issue and by shedding light on the perspectives of other students. Our initiative is 100% student run and is targeted towards our own peers. Some of our past projects have included giving presentations both locally and internationally, creating a newsletter and podcast with student perspectives on various mental health topics, and interviewing mental health professionals. We also have student led chapters with members located across 5 countries that work to educate their community about mental health issues as well as a podcast and several other volunteer projects.
