Send Silence Packing Event

WHEN: Wednesday, October 8, 2025

WHERE: Student Union Lawn
(Rain location: Wilbur Cross Building in the North Reading Room)

UConn is proud to be partnering with The Hartford and Active Minds (activeminds.org), the nation’s leading nonprofit working to change the culture around mental health, to bring Send Silence Packing.  This event is an exhibit that inspires action around suicide by sending the message that you are not alone, help is available, and we each play a critical role in changing the culture around mental health.

Send Silence Packing is an interactive virtual experience that shares powerful audio stories and engaging, action-oriented ideas for how to promote mental health in our community.  

The event will be held on the Student Union Lawn.  If we face inclement weather, the exhibit will be moved to the Wilbur Cross Building in the North Reading Room.
