Bring Change to Mind Let's talk mental health. Every individual who speaks out inspires another. And another. That’s how we’ll end the stigma around mental illness.

Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging dialogue about mental health, and to raising awareness, understanding, and empathy. Actress & activist Glenn Close co-founded Bring Change to Mind in 2010 after her sister, Jessie Close, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and her nephew, Calen Pick, with schizoaffective disorder. That’s how we’ll Bring Change to Mind. For more information, please visit http://bringchangetomind.org.

From the archives! And, every bit as relevant today.💚

In this 2018 conversation with BBC Breakfast, our co-founder Glenn Close reflects on the stigma surrounding mental illness and why open, honest conversations matter.

Eight years later, Bring Change to Mind remains committed to creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported — and where no one has to face a mental health challenge alone.

Thank you to BBC Breakfast for helping share this important message.

When students lead, their peers listen.💚

We’re so proud to see Elkhart High School student leaders Kendra & Nohemi featured by WSBT-TV. They shared how BC2M's peer-led Clubs help students connect, feel seen and heard, and speak more openly about mental health.

Thanks to support from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, BC2M Clubs are reaching even more students across the county.

Thank you to everyone who made this story possible — and especially to the students leading the way!

Watch the story:

A new mental health program is expanding across Elkhart County schools, but the people leading the conversation aren't teachers or counselors They're students.B

Twelve years later, Anne Lamott's words still resonate deeply. We’re grateful she pointed people toward BC2M in the days after Robin Williams’ death. And, we're grateful to everyone who continues helping make it easier to talk openly about mental health, ask for support, and show up for one another.💚

This year, 830,000 students will be part of a BC2M community where it’s okay to talk about mental health.

That means more young people learning how to ask for help, check in on their friends, and support someone who may be struggling.

In fact, 92% of BC2M High School Program Club Members say they know how to support someone who’s struggling.

And, for students like Shriya, those conversations can shape what comes next — from finding support to pursuing a future in mental health and su***de prevention work.

Help us reach the next student who needs to hear: you’re not alone.

Please consider making a gift today. 💚

13 years of Revels. One unforgettable night for youth mental health.

On April 27th, we raised more than $2.3 million to support our work in helping young people feel seen, heard, and supported. From powerful student stories to moving tributes, inspiring award presentations, and unforgettable performances for a room full of advocates, the night was one to be remembered!

But, above all, we were reminded by our students exactly why both this work, and each and every donation matters.💚
