 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. This is where the misconceptions stop. This is where bias comes to an end. This is where we change lives. Because this is where we Bring Change 2 Mind.

Thank you,  Angela Hanners, Director of Communications at AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org, for asking me to include the link to your new guide promoting student mental health. www.accreditedschoolsonline.org/resources/student-mental-health-resources/

“While mental health is slowly gaining mainstream societal recognition (if not acceptance), it can still be an exceedingly vague issue. We created this guidebook to help students and their families better understand the mental challenges that many students will face while in college and how to properly deal with them.

“We crafted this guidebook with the help of two experts in the field, Dr. Friedemann Schaub and Blake LeVine.  Schaub is the developer of the Personal Breakthrough and Empowerment program and the author of The Fear and Anxiety Solution. LeVine is a life coach who uses his personal experience with bipolar disorder to educate people  about managing mental illness. With the start of the new school year, it’s our goal to get this guidebook in front of as many students, parents, and teachers as possible.”
