We are excited about the launch of the #IFEELALIVE campaign during Suicide Prevention Month in September. It will feature three new PSA videos encouraging people to celebrate life. We’ll also be spotlighting different organizations that are doing great work in the mental health and suicide prevention arenas on our blog.
Here’s how you can be part of our campaign:
#1 Watch and share our PSAs. Here’s the first of three #IFEELALIVE PSAs “Celebrate Life.”
Here’s the 2nd #IFEELALIVE PSA “Together Not Alone” focusing on the Asian American community.
Here’s the 3rd #IFEELALIVE PSA about women and suicide
#2 In the month of September, help us trend #IFeelAlive on Twitter and Instagram. For example, you can tweet or post “#IFeelAlive when I’m watching a sunset at the beach” You can post a video or photo include #ifeelalive #suicideprevention at the end
We’ll display select tweets & posts here on our campaign page and repost on our Instagram account.
