It’s okay not to feel okay. It’s part of the overriding message of a $65 million, multi-year mental health initiative by the Ad Council. The effort is mobilizing the advertising, media, and marketing industries to address mental health issues facing communities across the country. About half of Americans (48 percent) say they’re getting help or treatment, according to a study conducted in May to June 2022 and released by the Ad Council, while 43 percent do not feel comfortable talking to people close to them about their emotions and how they are feeling. Heidi Arthur, chief campaign development officer at the Ad Council, joins host Matthew Schwartz to talk about the campaign, working with brand partners to get the message out, and using the power of music to facilitate difficult conversations about mental health.
