Bring Change 2 Mind

The Bring Change to Mind organization aims to eliminate negativity surrounding the discussion of mental health. Through media campaigns, youth programs, and more, BC2M encourages all ages to participate in mental health related conversations. Whether it is by sharing experiences, advocating for human rights, supporting science, amplifying voices, being an ally, or empowering the future, BC2M stands with all efforts to create a better and inclusive world. BC2M recognizes the several environmental factors that contribute to one’s mental health, especially discrimination towards identity, race, sexuality, disabilities, and diverse backgrounds. They are committed to making a difference by having special guests speak about mental health at youth programs and managing a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. With over 520 high school clubs, BC2M has reached over 80,000 students across the country. The organization alone has reached over 2 billion people through advocacy efforts. In terms of the future, Bring Change to Mind plans to continue their efforts to create a safe society as one in four people are affected by mental illness at some point in their lives. The three main pillars BC2M works around are creating national advocacy and awareness campaigns, developing a national student-led high school club program, and building a storytelling movement that works to end the stigma in the United States.
