The Fresh Start Award Program will grant up to
five individuals a one-time prize of $10,000 to help them reach their personal or
professional goals.
SAN
MATEO, Calif., July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Baszucki Group today announced
the launch of the Metabolic Mind Fresh Start Award to empower
individuals who have fought hard to win back their mental health.
The Award honors the courage, strength, and resilience of
individuals who have implemented ketogenic therapy to treat a
serious mental illness. Awardees will receive a one-time prize of
$10,000 to help them reach their
goals. Applicants are welcome to apply here through August 8, 2024.
Individuals suffering from serious mental illnesses must often
set aside their goals and ambitions for years or decades to focus
entirely on their mental health. Even after recovery is achieved
with the help of advances like metabolic psychiatry, many
individuals find that the years lost to illness can make restarting
their lives challenging. Fresh Start was designed to assist these
individuals in pursuing their personal and professional goals.
"Our hope is that the Fresh Start Award will give individuals
resources to help them pursue their goals and share their stories
so that others will have the opportunity to benefit from their
experiences," said Jan Ellison
Baszucki, President and Founder of Baszucki Group and
Metabolic Mind.
To be eligible for the Fresh Start Award, applicants must meet
the following criteria:
- Successfully treated a diagnosed serious mental health
condition with ketogenic therapy for a minimum of four months.
- Demonstrated a consistent pattern of publicly sharing their
experience of mental illness and recovery.
- Able to articulate a clear and ambitious personal or
professional goal, such as pursuing education, starting a business
or non-profit, or engaging in advocacy work.
Awardees will be selected based on the strength of their
application. For more information on the Fresh Start Award Program
and how to apply, please visit metabolicmind.org/fresh-start.
