Personal awareness campaign might just go viral

Program Title: Bipolar Babe
Description: A self-described former ‘bad-ass’, Andrea Paquette only discovered at age 26 that she had bipolar disorder, a diagnosis that helped her understand much of what had been happening over her life. One of Andrea’s current missions is to reach out to others with mental illness—young people and students in particular—and work to end stigma. She’s also a firm believer in leading a balanced life.
