About BringChange2Mind

BringChange2Mind.org is a not-for-profit organization created by Glenn Close, the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF),Fountain House, and Garen and Shari Staglin of IMHRO (International Mental Health Research Organization). The idea of a national anti-stigma campaign was born of a partnership between Glenn Close and Fountain House, where Glenn volunteered in order to learn about mental illness, which both her sister and nephew suffer from. BringChange2Mind’s Mission is twofold: 1) Provide people who have misconceptions about mental illness quick and easy access to information that combats stigma. 2) Provide people who have mental illness, and those who know them, quick and easy access to information and support. This is the first effort of this magnitude in U.S. history. Ron Howard generously donated his time in directing our first PSA that features Glenn Close and her sister, Jessie Close. John Mayer generously donated his song, Say, which serves as an anthem for this movement. The campaign has the support of major mental health organizations, including Active Minds, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHRO), the Jed Foundation, Mental Health America (MHA), National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), NARSAD, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
