An organization in Canada ran a video contest to challenge the stigma around mental health. The winner featured a girl named Becca (you'll see why she won in just a moment). Now, even though Becca describes overcoming some serious obstacles, she doesn't need a round of applause. Instead, you should just meet her and realize, “Hey, she seems pretty cool.” Because, hey, she seems pretty cool!
Video from Change the View 2014 and reposted with permission. Change the View was a video contest from Children’s Mental Health Ontario. In addition to their website, you can find these fine folks on Twitter and Facebook. And of course, props to the filmmakers Natasha Boshoff and Suaad Issa, who requested Becca's appearance in their submission — a request which we can safely say worked out for everyone.
CORRECTION: This post originally stated that Becca won Change the View's video contest. Natasha Boshoff and Suaad Issa won the contest with this film featuring Becca.
