Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) > https://www.bringchange2mind.org/<is a national nonprofit co-founded by actress Glenn Close, dedicated to ending mental health stigma and discrimination. The peer-led, evidence-based middle and high school club program empowers students to advocate for mental health awareness and create more empathetic, stigma-free school environments. This fall, BC2M is expanding to 60 new schools in Indiana—our program is evidence-based, student-led, and free for every school. You can join the network of over 560 schools across the country.
The BC2M program has demonstrated measurable success, with students reporting increased empathy, improved help-seeking behavior, and a greater willingness to engage in mental health conversations. Locally, BC2M provides annual grants, leadership training, access to a supportive network, and opportunities for students to participate in an annual Student Summit.
