- (1888PressRelease) October 27, 2010 - Bloomington, MN - Campus Media Group today launched a national college newspaper ad campaign with ReachOut.com to create awareness of mental health challenges among youth as well as prevent teen and young adult suicides in the United States.
Campus Media Group, a marketing agency that helps companies reach college students on and off campus nationwide, today announced the launch of a national college newspaper ad campaign focused on youth mental health awareness and suicide prevention with ReachOut.com, the main program of the Inspire USA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission of helping millions of young people lead happier lives. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people aged 15-24 years old.
The 'We Can Help Us' ads promote ReachOut.com, a website where young adults can improve their understanding of mental health issues, develop resilience, build their coping skills and increase help-seeking behavior. It provides evidence-based information and support, real-life stories and the ability to connect and contribute in a safe and supported community.
Campus Media Group will use its strong relationships with college newspapers to provide national campus newspaper ad placement on behalf of the Inspire USA Foundation. The effort will involve hundreds of campus newspapers from all over the U.S. and will reach millions of today's college students in cities small and large.
"We're thrilled to be working with Campus Media Group to get the word out to students about ReachOut.com," said Jack Heath, founder and CEO of the Inspire U.S.A. Foundation. "With suicide being the second leading cause of death among college students, these ads will hopefully let them know they are not alone and that others have made it through tough times."
The 'We Can Help Us' campaign provides an opportunity to generate hope among students who are going through a tough time across the United States. The PSAs seek to convey that they are not alone in their struggles with emotional and mental health problems. It was created in collaboration with SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), the Ad Council, DDB New York and the Inspire USA Foundation.
