About AWI
AWI, which stands for Art With Impact is a nonprofit organization working throughout the U.S. and Canada. Our OLIVE Film Collection is the largest and most diverse library of short films about mental health in the world. We take those films into schools to host workshops with college students. The results of our work are increased awareness of mental health issues, reduced stigma around mental illness, and - most importantly - increased likelihood to seek support for their own mental health. We have worked with 350+ colleges and universities to date.
Our belief is that storytelling through art can inspire change, create empathy, and foster understanding.
Our Mission
At AWI, our mission is to promote mental wellness by using the power of film and storytelling to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone is empowered to prioritize their mental health without fear of judgment or discrimination.
