BringChange2Mind
BringChange2Mind.org is a not-for-profit organization created by Glenn Close of the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF) and Fountain House, and Garen and Shari Staglin of International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHR). The organization has two primary priorities:

  1. Provide people who have misconceptions about mental illness with quick and easy access to information that combats stigma; and
  2. Provide people living with mental illness, and those who know them, quick and easy access to information and support.

The website includes opportunities for individuals living with mental illness and their families to share their personal stories and to participate in the effort to combat stigma. The website also includes information on mental illness and valuable resources for those seeking help.
