Each bag represents an individual who committed suicide and contains a story about the person written by family members. An Active Minds student chapter is open for any Seton Hill student who is interested in resources and support for mental health issues. “It’s heartbreaking,” said McCurdy after reading some of the stories posted on the backpacks.

The Active Minds Send Silence Packing traveling display was on display Tuesday at Reeves Learning Commons on the Seton Hill University campus.
