For our seventeenth episode, we talk with Leanne Loughran, National Program Director of Bring Change to Mind or BC2M---one of the two evidence-based peer-to-peer programs 1N5 recommends to schools. Leanne shares how BC2M got its start, her role within the organization and how that has grown, and how they work with teens and schools to help stop the stigma. We hope you enjoy!
