HEROES IN THE FIGHT
HEROES ARE EVERYWHERE. HELP US FIND ONE!

The fight against mental illness is waged in countless ways by countless heroes. From the mother fighting to reclaim her son, to the social worker looking for clients lost to the streets, to the policeman who knows when someone needs medical help, not prison time – these are the souls who make a difference. By making one life better. One family healthier. One burden lighter. Do you know a hero like this, someone who is unrelenting in the fight?

Help us recognize their commitment to the fight against severe mental illness.
