"1 in 6 adults and almost 1 in 10 children suffer from a diagnosable mental illness. Yet, for many, the stigma associated with the illness, can be as great a challenge as the disease itself."
"BringChange2Mind.org combats the stigma surrounding mental illness. Spearheaded by actress Glenn Close, the organization provides a global forum for people to share their stories and shed light on the unfair shame that's inflicted upon those living with mental illness. Watch videos, get news, take part in events and more.
BringChange2Mind.org is a hub for all resources related to eliminating mental illness stigma. Join the discussion or share your story today: http://bringchange2mind.org/ "

Hi Lisa,
You are very welcome!
BringChange2Mind is an amazing project!
Helping others, first through the ED support group and now through the blog has been an important part in my personal journey of growth and recovery. It makes everything I have gone through have meaning, be worth it, and make sense. I can't change the past, but I can take the lessons from it, make the most of it and move on.
I've been where they are. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, get through mental illness, accept it, not let it define us, and learn to have a happy life. It is an honor to help some of those courageous people and their families!
As I always say, this is also an extension of what you do to help others. Thanks for all you do!
Peace, hope and love,
Lily
