Take Action for Mental Health Awareness this May!
Your gift will support a teen-led movement for mental wellbeing, including the "Move with Music" campaign
Our Minds Matter is working toward a day when no teen dies by suicide. This May, for Mental Health Awareness month, we are calling on our community to take action! Your donation will help us reach nearly 80,000 teens this school year with life-saving mental health resources.
We're very excited to make a big step toward this goal on Thursday, May 16 — when we will partner with MTV Entertainment Studios to encourage teens to “Move with Music." This is the second year in a row of this partnership; more than 46,000 young people took action as part of this campaign in 2023.
On Thursday, May 16, participating schools, community centers, and organizations will pause the day for a special announcement from Our Minds Matter student leaders or other mental health advocates to name the importance of taking time for yourself and the benefits of intentional movement. The announcement will include a positive affirmation, followed by a music break to a song chosen by the OMM network. Everyone will be encouraged to move with the music however they feel comfortable.
When the song ends, students will be given a call to action: to find an hour to take action for themselves, a loved one, or their community’s mental health.
Donate today, and help keep this movement going!
