#StrongerThanStigma 

Bring Change 2 Mind, in partnership with Brandon Marshall’s Project 375, launched #StrongerThanStigma to raise awareness around the unique challenges that men face when discussing mental health, to encourage open dialogue, and to promote help seeking behavior.
#StrongerThanStigma features four inspirational male figures from professional sports leagues, television, and the music industry who have made mental health advocacy a part of their platform. These headliners are Brandon Marshall, NFL All-Pro wide receiver for the New York Jets; Ben Scrivens, NHL goalie for the Montreal Canadiens; Michael Angelakos, lead singer of indietronica band Passion Pit; and Wayne Brady, comedian and actor. Each shares his story, and encourages men to start the conversation and end the stigma.
Michael Angelakos is a singer-songwriter, composer, record producer and the front man of the indietronica band Passion Pit. In the summer of 2012, after Passion Pit’s second studio album, Gossamer, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart, Michael posted on the band’s website that they would be cancelling their upcoming tour dates so that he could continue to work on his mental health. After years of hospitalizations and medications, Michael had publicly acknowledged that he lives with Bipolar Disorder. The support that Michael received in response to his honesty and transparency inspired him to use his publicity to humanize the concept of mental illness and to advocate that it is treated as any other health concern. Michael is currently working on Passion Pit’s third album, which is to be released in 2015.
