About DMAX Foundation
DMAX Foundation is a Philadelphia-area nonprofit whose focus is to create trusting environments for students to have honest everyday conversations about mental health so they better can understand and help each other. We are fostering connections and Conversations That Matter so that students no longer have to suffer alone and in silence. We accomplish this through DMAX Clubs on college campuses. The Clubs create an environment where students can get together to talk about how they are doing, how their friends are doing and how they can help each other. The Clubs are for all students as we believe that mental health is a spectrum and that everyone falls along the spectrum at different places at different times in our lives. Mental health is everyone’s concern.
