​​​​​​​​​Posters and social media messaging can be an excellent way to encourage help-seeking behaviors for youth and young adults. We invite you to use any of the images or PDFs below to share with your network or community to elevate the importance of mental health.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Messaging Guidance

Mental health can be a tough topic to talk about. Here are some basic guidelines to make sure you encourage and empower your audience to take action. (Recommendations from Mental Health Action Day​)​


  1. Emphasize that mental health is a part of overall health. Remind people that, just as there are things they do to take care of their physical health, there are things they can do to take care of their mental health.​
  2. Portray a range of experiences. Expand depictions of mental health to reflect the full continuum of experiences — from thriving to coping to struggling.
  3. Highlight the power of coping skills and self-care. Minimize depictions of self-care that make it seem like an indulgence or luxury only for those who can afford it.
  4. Encourage people to share their stories. End the stigma by encouraging your audience to share their experience and what works for them through social media and other communications that reach their community.
  5. Find local or community-specific and culturally competent partners to amplify. Partner with mental health organizations that can support your community with the most targeted and appropriate resources.
  6. Ask your audience to invite others to join them in taking action. Encourage them to continue sharing resources​ and stories about mental health and wellness.
