Partner Spotlight: Born Brave Experience Study

The Empowerment Initiative and the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF) believe it's time to have open conversations about mental health - particularly the need to invest in effective training and treatment. In this spirit, they recently presented results from the 2013 Born Brave Experience Study at the American Psychological Association Convention.

Their findings shed insight on how young people prefer to get help. Click to read Sue Swearer's* blog article.
