Mental illness, the inaccessibility of care, and the stigmatization of struggling all have contributed to rising rates of suicide, which ends thousands of lives too soon and tears holes in their families and communities. Addressing these challenges requires not just mental health professionals but also advocates who help those around them and change the narrative around mental illness.

This scholarship aims to foster an environment of understanding, empathy, and support by supporting the next generation of mental health advocates.
