Join The #ASK5 To Smash Stress Social Media Campaign To Help Our Youth

For the third week of its monthlong “#Ask5 to Smash Stress” social media campaign for National Stress Awareness Month, Hope Means Nevada (HMN), the community-based non-profit focused on eliminating youth suicide in the state, and campaign sponsor Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield will focus on Relationships. The campaign will be accessible on HMN’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

#Ask5 to Smash Stress is a peer-to-peer social media campaign that focuses on encouraging teens to connect with their peers and raise awareness that could improve mental wellness and even save lives. Throughout the month, this campaign encourages teens to #Ask5 of their friends how they are doing and provide actionable techniques to foster mental health and wellness. The teens will be encouraged to log onto social media daily to learn about stress-relieving strategies, including how to achieve balance between life and school, mindful eating and healthy body image, fostering healthy relationships, finding a therapist who is the right fit and more. Mental wellness tips and meaningful discussions will be shared on the social media platforms via daily live presentations and short videos.
