It is so critical that when a child is diagnosed with a mind disorder, they realize that they are not alone.  Half of Us is MTV's campaign to educate children and adults about mental illness.  It features celebrities and non-celebrities telling their stories about their experience with mental illness.  Celebrities such as Brittnay Snow and Mary J. Blige are joined with others to share their experiences.  There is truly a story that everyone can relate to on this site.  I totally recommend that you give the site a visit and hear others speaking out on their experiences.

Mental illness affects celebrities, too.  Glenn Close’s sister, Jessie, is Bipolar.  In an effort to support her, Glenn Close put together a PSA to de-stigmatize mental illness.  Bravo to  her for using her celebrity for the betterment of society.  Please take a look at it, and also explore the rest of the Bring Change 2 Mind site.  It gives you a great perspective about people who have struggled with mental illness.  Hopefully, you know someone that you can share this important PSA with, and help change lives! 

 

Be Well
