Bring Change to Mind

Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) is a national organization working to end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness. Founded in 2010 by Actor and Advocate Glenn Close, the mission and vision was developed as a result of Ms. Close’s first-hand observation of mental illness within her own family.  In 2015, BC2M launched its evidence-based and peer led High School Club program with 25 high schools in the Bay Area. Since then BC2M Clubs have expanded across the country operating in six different regions, 35 states, 480 schools, with more than 10,000 students involved. In addition to the high school program, BC2M’s Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaigns have proven to be another effective outreach method and educational tool. More than a billion people have seen BC2M’s first PSA, which was directed by Ron Howard in New York’s Grand Central Station. Every year, BC2M produces and releases a PSA with the single focus of destigmatizing mental health.
 

The Hope Booth

The Hope Booth is a 3 minute Interactive Immersive Experience that delivers artistic messages of hope in the form of remodeled phone booths, strategically placed throughout our cities, globally. Hope Booth was created for everyone in the community to experience hope once again; from the person living on the streets, to the student navigating campus life, to the formerly incarcerated, to the individual fighting for their life in the hospital, to the CEO of a social enterprise. Together, we can pioneer a movement where no one goes unseen, one Hope Booth at a time.
