Our Mission

Bring Change 2 Mind has two core goals:

  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.

About Bring Change 2 Mind

Bring Change 2 Mind is a national anti-stigma campaign founded by Glenn Close, The Balanced Mind Foundation, Fountain House, and Garen & Shari Staglin of the International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHRO), aimed at removing misconceptions about mental illness. The idea was born out of a partnership between Glenn Close and Fountain House, where Glenn volunteered in order to learn more about mental illness, which both her sister, Jessie Close, and nephew, Calen Pick, live with.
