Youth & Celebrity Ambassador Message
Young people and celebrities like Jewel, Finn Wolfhard, Billy Porter, Alanis Morisette, Demi Moore, Eugene Simon, Ariel Winter, Penn Jillette, Scott Bakula, Raven Saunders, Drew Carey, Joel de la Fuente and more, join together to send a message to America’s youth, that when you feel alone, when every day is a struggle, when your friend or family member says they’re fine on the outside, but you know they hurt on the inside, it’s time to change the conversation about mental health and stigma. Together we can make a difference, we can be heard, we can find hope, and we are a force to be reckoned with…to end discrimination in mental health, build understanding, and the conversation begins with me. We are WELL BEINGS. We are ALL WELL BEINGS.
We Are Well Beings
Every day, everywhere, everybody is touched by mental health challenges. With our partners, we stand united and strong at a critical time in the health and well being of our nation. Meet our Well Beings partners!
The Definition of Insanity
Follow a team of dedicated public servants working through the courts to steer people with mental illness — as their court cases hang in the balance — on a path from incarceration to recovery. The Definition of Insanity is now streaming on PBS.
Join us as we work to demystify and destigmatize health concerns through storytelling. Together with partners from across the country, including patients, families, caregivers, and professionals, we will address the critical health needs of Americans through the creation of broadcast content, original digital content, and impactful local events.
