Advocacy and Community Initiatives

Glenn Close co-founded the nonprofit organization Bring Change to Mind to combat the stigma around mental health and provide resources for those in need. The organization has established over 540 clubhouses across multiple states, driven primarily by the enthusiasm of young people eager to create awareness within their schools. Close discusses recent legislative advancements, including the allocation of $8.5 billion for community behavioral health clinics, demonstrating a growing recognition of the mental health crisis. Her focus on the importance of ongoing support and resources reaffirms that effective mental health treatment requires a long-term commitment to care, not just immediate intervention.
