Greetings!
The International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) has as part of its mission to erase stigma associated with mental illness through public education. To that end, we have launched a global essay contest open to all high school students Internationally.”Our hope”, says Walker, President and founder of IBPF, “is that students will be interested in winning the prize and thereby research stigma in order to write the essay. In so doing, we will be educating a lot of young people and hopefully changing their perception about mental illness”. The topic of the essay is Changing the Future of Stigma; Bipolar Disorder in 2020. First and second place winners will be judged by a panel of authors who currently write about bipolar disorder and mental illness and the winner will be announced in May to celebrate May as Mental Health Month. In addition the First Place Winner will receive $500 and the Second Place Winner will receive $100. Both winners will have the opportunity to read their essay via Skype at our Public Forum with former Congressman Patrick Kennedy, May 22.
