Donate today to provide mental health education, su***de prevention and stigma reduction to Minnesota schools in the 2021/22 academic year.

https://www.4giving.com/donation/CBCE

Did you know that one in five youth have a mental health condition, with half of mental health conditions developing well before age 14? The negative stigma and lack of understanding of mental illnesses extends to communities, teachers, health care professionals, school systems, employers and places of worship.

PrairieCare Fund’s goal is to break down barriers, raise awareness and make a difference in the lives of children and families braving mental health challenges.

PrairieCare Fund (PCF) fills a critical gap in education by funding Minnesota schools with grants that help teachers and staff identify, advocate and reduce the stigma of mental health through wellness programs and education.

PrairieCare Fund resonates with programs that focus on creating positive outcomes for children, adolescents, educators, and families. Funding for PrairieCare grants are generated through donations from concerned parents, educators, business leaders and communities.

Donate today to help support school mental health programs throughout the state of Minnesota.

DIANA CHAO 3/18/18: So excited to finally share this, after months of trying to make it a thing:

Project 1324 just opened a new Challenge for 13-24-year-old creatives on mental health: No Stigma, No Shame - and I'm guest curating. Select submissions will be featured at the 2018 National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) National Convention, in addition to NAMI and Adobe Project 1324’s social channels. Finalists and Winners will also become eligible to apply for the Adobe Creativity Scholarship.

Submit before May 15th! https://project1324.com/challenge/nostigmanoshame

Art helped me heal when I thought that no one could possibly understand me. Art is such a visceral, human way to tell our stories that I cannot wait to see the submissions that come in. If writing is humanity distilled into ink, then art is humanity itself, the bursting of silhouettes and colors and geometry against the human imagination. It is the most powerful way we have to speak our truth. To make progress in mental health, we must educate ourselves on its reality. This will be a goldmine of information, stories, progress, pain, triumph, struggle, and the brilliant human audacity to continue.

There is no stigma, no shame. Only listening, learning, patience, and growing.
LETTERS TO STRANGERS: Our Founder & Executive Director Diana Chao spoke at TEDxTeen last November in Times Square and received a standing ovation. Here is her full message on the power of writing, the miracle of human connections, and the revolution that is this fight for mental health. If you’re inspired to advocate for our on this - share the video to spread the movement!

The notOK app allows users to press a single button that will send a text message to up to five pre-selected contacts to alert them that the user is in distress. The automated text message will read: "Hey, I’m not OK. Please call me, text me, or come find me." The app also provides the recipients of the text with the users GPS location.
