Our MissionTo decrease the stigma associated with mental illnesses and improve the quality of life of all whose lives are affected by these diseases, with a special focus on the Purdue community. Why SAMI?Young adults aged 18-24 have the highest prevalence of diagnosable forms of mental illness in the whole population. SAMI was formed as a response to the lack of educational materials concerning mental illness on college campuses. About Us:The SAMI serves to educate and advocate within the Purdue community. Our past activities have included sponsoring speakers, movie screenings, a silver ribbon campaign, and participating in the 5k Homeward Bound walk to end homelessness.
