Chris Wood - Jerome Class of 2006 - Distinguished Alumni Award In addition to being a television and movie actor, writer and producer, Chris Wood, Jerome Class of 2006, founded IDONTMIND in 2017, which has raised more than $600,000 for Mental Health America. IDONTMIND is a mental health awareness campaign and lifestyle brand that works to defeat the stigma around mental illness. The goal is to get people talking about their minds and to generate positive messaging about mental health. The company uses clothing sales to both raise money for mental health awareness, as well as start opportunities to discuss mental health. “IDONTMIND is an awareness campaign with a mission to inspire open and honest conversations about mental health,” the company’s website says. “Simply put – we want to make talking about mental health a normal part of everyday life, giving people the confidence to ask for help when they need it. Join our campaign and say IDONTMIND talking about my mental health.” IDONTMIND is an official program of Mental Health America, the nation's leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting the overall mental health of everyone. With over 200 affiliates and associates in 42 states, 6,500 affiliate staff and over 10,000 volunteers, MHA brings over 100 years of experience and knowledge to IDONTMIND. Outside of IDONTMIND, Wood stays busy as an actor, writer and director. After graduating from Elon University in 2010, he went on tour playing the lead role in the rock musical SPRING AWAKENING before starting his work in film and television, where he’s best known for his roles in SUPERGIRL, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, and CONTAINMENT. Chris voices the role of “He-Man” in the upcoming Netflix animated series, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION, playing opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar and Mark Hamill. His latest short film, SNOWSHOE (which he wrote and directed), will be premiering at a festival later this year. Currently, Chris is writing a feature for Paramount+, and he has another feature in development with Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B Entertainment. Wood now lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
This is such great news I’m so happy for him
