Greater Philadelphia NAMIWalks collaborates with Actress Glenn Close's BringChange2Mind

BringChange2Mind.org is a not-for-profit organization created by Glenn Close, the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF), Fountain House, and Garen and Shari Staglin of IMHRO (International Mental Health Research Organization).

The idea of a national anti-stigma campaign was born of a partnership between Glenn Close and Fountain House, where Glenn volunteered in order to learn about mental illness, which both her sister and nephew suffer from.

BringChange2Mind.org has partnered with NAMI to bring teams to our NAMIWalk in the effort to raise awareness and to eliminate the stigma of mental illness.
