Britt Barker had a good upbringing, a stable family. But he wanted to try alcohol and drugs; and so went down the road to addiction. He was arrested a few times and went through several rehabs. Finally sober since July 2015, he is making music and has released his first solo EP – Trust under the stage name Catch the Rise. He’s also helping others by counseling at the local Hospital Emergency Room in Greenville, SC.
Become a Brave Champion on World Mental Health Day
Dear Joseph Dickerson,
When I heard the words “bipolar disorder” and “mental illness” from the psychiatrist who diagnosed me, I felt like my life was over.
With 1 in 5 Americans experiencing mental illness--and likely more with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic--you are certain to know someone facing a similar challenge.
Maybe they are struggling with depression, or anxiety, or substance use disorder.
Maybe it's a friend, a family member, or a co-worker.
Together, we can end the fear and shame that has impacted so many people living with mental illness.
With your help, we can do more every day.
Sincerely, Jennifer Marshall Executive Director & Co-Founder
P.S. Don’t forget to sign up as a Brave Champion by midnight tonight to receive your free mask, and help even more people with mental illness share their story. The choice to join is yours!

Caring for a loved one struggling with addiction can be an incredibly isolating experience. But, by sharing our experiences, we can connect with others, reduce the effects of loneliness and start building bridges that will transform how our nation addresses addiction.
Can we count on you to help others impacted by substance use feel less alone?
Your lived experience can help change hearts and minds. Allow us to help you share your story on our website, with your community, or local and national policymakers.
Provide compassionate support to other caregivers. Parent coaching is a peer-to-peer program, by which a parent or caregiver seeking help and perspective on their child’s substance use issues is paired with a specially trained volunteer who has also traveled the path of a child’s substance use or addiction.
