About the Campaign

The #MySafeSpace campaign supports the mental health and emotional well-being of young people. When life presents challenges that weigh heavy on your heart and mind, it’s okay to pause and breathe. We all deserve spaces that nurture our mental health and honor our experiences. Watch and share the videos below, and join the campaign for safe spaces for our well-being!
