In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, Wattpad and Maybelline have partnered up once again to bring you a weekly writing challenge that aims to banish the stigma around depression, anxiety and mental health. For the month of May, we will release a Weekly Write-a-thon prompt every Monday, and for every response Wattpad and Maybelline will donate $1, up to a total of $40,000 to four leading mental health focused organizations including Sad Girls Club, The Loveland Foundation, Ali Forney Center, and The JED foundation. Let's join the #BraveTogether initiative and make a difference with our stories. Read on for additional details on how to make your donation count!
