Shining a Light on Mental Health
Why the Actress Glenn Close Became a Mental Health Advocate
Glenn Close, the esteemed actress and seven-time Oscar nominee, is a champion of mental health awareness.
Her own family’s experience with mental illness motivated her to found Bring Change to Mind. The mission of her non-profit is “to end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness.”
“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.”
— Glenn Close
Amen to that!
Close’s powerful quote was delivered in 2018. It highlights the importance of open and honest conversations about mental health.
Secrecy and shame can prevent people from seeking help. By bringing mental health “into the sunlight,” as Close suggests, we can create a more understanding and supportive environment for everyone.
Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Let’s keep the conversation going!
