    Mental health care works.

    We've launched a new public awareness campaign. It's focused on encouraging those who are having mental health concerns to take the first step toward getting help.

    About the campaign.

    While many are struggling with their mental health, far too few are seeking treatment. Our goal is to inspire more people to step forward and ask for help — by showing them that mental health care works. We’ll do this by sharing testimonial-style stories inspired by real people who are seeing (and feeling) the benefits of mental health care.

    In 2023, we are piloting this campaign in the Denver, Raleigh-Durham, and Washington D.C.-Baltimore metropolitan areas. Through high-impact media messaging and strategic partnerships, we’ll send the message loud and clear that mental wellness is possible.

    Meet Lizzie. She’s 19 and wonders why she sometimes struggles to leave the house when her friends never seem to have that problem.
