Pre-Campaign Overview for

Youth-Service Providers, Educators, Community Leaders and Stakeholders

Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) will soon be launching a statewide social marketing campaign that empowers young people to step up and help peers, friends, classmates and siblings deal with issues like depression, stress, anger, loneliness, bullying or harassment. We will link young people to local and state-level resources, information, immediate crisis intervention and longer-term care (if needed).

The Be Present campaign focuses on youth, teens and young adults across the state - from high school, through college and early adulthood. However, adults like you also will play an important role in the success of this campaign.

Starting in mid-September, Be Present will be offering hour-long information sessions to a wide variety of grassroots stakeholders, youth-serving programs and community-based organizations. Come to one of these sessions to see and hear why galvanizing support for the mental and emotional wellness of our youth is so important-and how you can be part of the solution!
