On behalf of our BC2M staff, board, and community we hope you are taking good care of yourselves and those around you. Never have empathy, compassion, courage, patience and stamina been so important.

Our Bring Change to Mind High School program has been adapted to a virtual model and our students from across the country are actively engaging in meetings, activities and continuing their important advocacy. We thank you for supporting these students and those in your community.
