The Balanced Mind Foundation's partner, Bring Change 2 Mind, a non-profit organization working to eliminate the stigma of mental illness, has exciting news to share with you.

Bring Change 2 Mind has partnered with the ABCNetwork for a special 2-hour episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which will premiere on Friday, November 4, 2011, at 8pm ET (Please check your local listings). BC2M had the great privilege of introducing Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to The Hill Family. Sergeant Allen Hill, U.S. Army, returned from active duty in Iraq with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The episode will introduce the audience to the challenges confronting the Hill Family, explore PTSD, and will feature our public service announcement. This is a unique opportunity to educate millions of people about mental illness and enlist them to help strike out stigma.

To responsibly accommodate an influx of visitors to our website, we have rebuilt and launched a new site, with the help of Blue State Digital. We hope that our guests will easily find their way to the most appropriate resources for their inquiries of support, assistance, research and education. Please watch the upcoming episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this Friday, and visit us at BringChange2Mind.org to take the Pledge to Help End Stigma.
