Broadalbin-Perth Middle School students supporting peers with Bring Change to Mind Club
Broadalbin-Perth Middle School recently launched a Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) club, part of a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health and mental illness.
The BC2M club at BPMS gives students a safe and supportive space to explore mental health topics, learn about self-care and empathy, and connect with friends. This student-led initiative is not therapy or counseling. Through the club, students run events, lead discussions, and help bring the school community together around mental wellness.
According to club adviser and school social worker Jessica Lape-Schwab, by talking openly about mental health, BPMS students are helping normalize these conversations, reduce stigma, and ensure everyone has access to the support they need.
