Mission : mpower about mpower PDF
Mpower is a new youth awareness campaign that's harnessing the power of music to change youth attitudes about mental health and fight the stigma facing the 1 in 5 youth with mental health problems. Working with a diverse coalition of artists, music industry executives, mental health advocates and youth leaders, mpower is dedicated to reaching out to today's youth about a range of mental health issues, including depression, substance abuse, anxiety, eating disorders and suicide, and providing important resources and information to encourage those in need to seek help.
Sponsored by the National Mental Health Association (NMHA), one of the country's top health charities, and its 340 affiliates nationwide, mpower will turn up the volume nationally and locally through concert tie-ins, special events, media activities, PSAs, educational forums and web-based outreach and empower millions of young people to get informed and take action.

Rock and newer forms of music have been breaking down barriers in our society, moving minds and people, and changing attitudes about important issues like HIV/AIDS, sex education and discrimination. Music has always been a source of inspiration and motivation. Today, as more and more leading artists step forward to share how they have coped with mental health and substance abuse problems, we can fight the stigma and carry the message to young people all across America that they are not alone and that help is available. Mental health issues affect everyone regardless of age, sex, race or income.
Some of the world's most popular and talented musicians have been lost to suicide, depression and substance abuse. Every day, growing numbers of young people confront similar struggles in their lives. Sadly, millions still suffer in silence. Stigma, fear and lack of understanding continue to get in the way. More than 2/3 of all young adults with a mental health problem are not getting the help they need, even though help is available and treatment works.From emerging artists to the most popular headliners around, mpower is organizing musicians to get on the record for mental health. Some are telling their stories or the stories of their families and friends. Others are sharing the facts about mental health and mental illness with their fans, talking openly about some of the most important issues facing kids today.
Check out the musicians who are already on the record and get involved today!

So, we've all heard that "knowledge is power." That's really the case when it comes to mental health. A little education goes a long way to understanding what you or someone you know is going through and getting and past any shame to decide to talk to someone.
