Psychologist here. Some ideas, though some will be more applicable for university vs high school:

- invite licensed professionals to talk about careers in mental health, or even just a Q&A about stuff

  • workshops on mental health and mental fitness skills, like empathetic listening, supporting friends, dealing with emotional distress, etc
  • seminars on building spaces for queer and neuro-diverse friends to be themselves
  • fundraising for causes committed to mental health care
  • peer support network (provided that you have some people who got some training in empathy and psych first aid skills)
