Overview

Mission

Bc2m's mission is to end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness through widely distributed public education materials and programs based on the latest scientific insights and measured for effectiveness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Research - science and evidence-based action is essential to achieving bc2m's mission. Bc2m grounds its work in the latest research, evaluating it for effectiveness, then sharing it with confidence. An integral component of this is bc2m's scientific advisory council which is comprised of an acclaimed team of experts in the fields of mental illness stigma and discrimination. In 2024, bc2m partnered with the city college of New York (cuny) to conduct a research study investigating mental health anti-stigma for asian american and pacific islander (aapi) high school students. This successful pilot study will expand in 2025. (continued on sch o)public service announcements (psa) - in the past, bc2m has designed, developed and produced psas that are broadcast throughout the media. Since its establishment, bc2m 's psa campaigns have proven to be an effective outreach method and educational tool. Bc2m has continued to benefit from these valuable psas throughout our operation and did not incur additional costs in 2024.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
