Some are unseen, some are untold, some are notable, but they are all a great deal of mystery. Mental Illness will affect one in four of us in the world, it does not discriminate and we will confront it in one way or another. Those of us who know a child, adolescent or adult with mental illness, are familiar with that feeling of perplexity and uncertainty for the future. We can only imagine what a person with mental illness experiences. They have long-lasting medical conditions that can interfere with their ability to fully live productive and meaningful lives. As a community, we have the power to significantly impact the future of millions. Research is only one component of a system working towards treating mental illness, but it is fundamental as we cannot truly fix something we don’t fully understand. Your caring donation will help take a step further to advance our understanding of mental illness, develop new treatments and ultimately find cures. Let’s come together to fill in the gaps and show that mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Remember no amount is too little or too big to invest in a better future for all. You can also take action by sharing the link of this campaign (https://bbrfoundation.donordrive.com/campaign/Time-to-Mind) and challenging others to donate. As a team let’s reach the goal by May 25, 2018. Thank you all for supporting the bbrfoundation through this campaign.
