ADHDAdvisor's Mental Health Advocate Scholarship
The mental health crisis threatening the world has been detrimental to the safety and well-being of countless people.
Mental illness, the inaccessibility of care, and the stigmatization of struggling all have contributed to rising rates of suicide, which ends thousands of lives too soon and tears holes in their families and communities. Addressing these challenges requires not just mental health professionals but also advocates who help those around them and change the narrative around mental illness.
This scholarship aims to foster an environment of understanding, empathy, and support by supporting the next generation of mental health advocates.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who is committed to helping others through emotional and mental health support.
To apply, tell us how you have helped others with their mental health and how you plan to use your studies and future career to continue assisting those around you.
In 400 words or less, please describe how you have been helping others with their mental health and explain how you plan to use your studies and future career to emotionally support others around you.
