Pledge for Mental Health Advocacy
I pledge to support mental health awareness for youth and its connection to social media. I commit to:
Understanding: I will actively learn about social media's role in youth's self-expression and search for community, while also recognizing its negative implications on mental health.
Speaking Out: I will use my voice to advocate for healthier online spaces and understand initiatives that promote individual's mental well-being. I will encourage conversations about social media usage limitations and alternatives with those close to me.
Leading By Example: I will be mindful of my own media usage and take a leadership role in my home, school, and work communities to encourage digital disconnection for personal reconnection.
Staying Engaged: Beyond this advocacy event, I will remain engaged in policies, programs, and community-based initiatives around youth mental health and its connection to social media.
