Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) was co-founded in 2010 by actress and activist Glenn Close, inspired by personal experiences with mental illness in her family. Over the past 15 years, BC2M has evolved into a national organization committed to ending the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness through public education campaigns and youth programs. BC2M implements evidence-based, student-led mental health programs in 640 schools across the United States.

Starting this fall, 140 high schools and 50 middle schools in Indiana will run a year-round BC2M club program at their school sites. The organization empowers young people with the tools to advocate for mental health, foster open dialogue, and build supportive communities.

BC2M’s Student Programs are free to participating schools and integrate age-appropriate educational presentations, leadership training, and campus wide events that inspire proactive engagement and reduce stigma.
