High School Essay ContestAbout 60 million people worldwide have a brain disorder known as bipolar disorder or manic-depressive illness. Chances are someone you know has this mental illness or cares for someone who does. Learning about bipolar disorder can help you understand the impact this disease has on those affected by it so you can respond to them with care and sensitivity.Girl Scouts Mental Health Awareness PatchOur Mental Health Awareness patch is available to all scouting organizations. While it originated with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, we have also distributed patches to American Heritage Girls, Girl Guides, and others. With the increase in youth bullying, suicide and drug use, Girl Scouts are actively fighting to create change. Through a program to educate and reduce the stigma of mental illness, Girl Scouts can earn the Mental Health Awareness Patch developed by us for playing a positive role in their communities.With approximately 1 in 4 people in the U.S. diagnosed with a mental illness, awareness of those impacted is also growing. The opportunity to learn about mental health is consistent with the Girl Scout organization's dedication to the health and well-being of all girls.
