The Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF) is an Evanston-based national nonprofit organization providing information, resources and support for families raising children, teens and young adults with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression.
CABF has been accepted into the Pepsi Refresh Contest for November and we will be competing for the top award of $250,000. Selection is based solely on the number of votes.
Winning could truly make a difference in the lives of families of kids and teens with depression and bipolar disorder. If selected by popular vote, CABF will use an innovative social media awareness effort to:
*Elevate awareness about bipolar disorder & depression in children.
*Educate parents & the public about the symptoms;
*Explain the best treatment options & ways to reduce teen suicide
*Expand the number of children receiving treatment;
*Eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness;
*Extend hope to families struggling with mental illnesses.

Thank you so much for promoting our cause! We are holding at 10th place and just need to get to #1 or #2 in order to win. We've seen our position move up with as few as 50 additional votes so every vote truly makes a difference. Vote every day, three times, three ways to support CABF so that we can support more families!!
Read about this too, thanks for sharing.

I think the knowledge of the illness is the first and the most important step to a better treatment.There should not be any stigma connected to the same of course.
