BipolarBrave Awards 2025 Results – KatieRDale.com


The Results Are In

Thank you to all who participated and cast a vote in the 2025 BipolarBrave Mental Health + Faith Awards! The response was outstanding, so thank you all who shared and voted!

I’m pleased to have put this on for the fourth year to highlight those making an impact in the world of faith and mental health. Everyone serving this segment of the church and society isn’t doing it for accolades. Honestly, I had second thoughts about hosting again because contests can seem superficial and worldly. 

While I love a good contest based on competency and merit, I don’t love people being left out! So to all who made it on the ballot, you’ll also be included in my GAME PLAN Mental Health Resource Guide. And if you didn’t see someone deserving on the ballot this year, think of them next year and nominate them!!
