Are you a college student who suffers from a mental disorder or otherwise is impacted by a mental health issue in your life?

Do you like to post videos to YouTube?

Well, we have the award for you! Eman Rimawi from the Jed Foundation wrote us to tell us about their Voice of Mental Health Award for college students:

Hi. I’m writing from The Jed Foundation which works nationally to reduce the rate of suicide and the prevalence of emotional distress among college and university students. We are presenting The Jerry Greenspan Student Voice of Mental Health Award for college students who have had mental health issues like the one’s you write about on your site and wanted for you to help spread the word.

The award is for a video on their experiences with mental health issues and how they are working to raise awareness and encourage their peers on the issue. The award includes a $2,000 scholarship, a trip to NYC to our annual gala in June 2009, recognition through our site and events and possibly appearing on MTVU.

Interested and want to learn more? Check out the Student Voice of Mental Health Award page for specific submission details. Submissions are due by February 13, 2009.
