Partners For Mental Health Aim To Slam Door On Teenage Suicide

rightbyyouThe Partners for Mental Health, a charitable organization that transforms the way Canadians think about and support mental illness, launched a PSA educating viewers on the sad statistics surrounding youth suicide. After car accidents, suicide is the leading cause of death among young Canadians each year. The PSA uses a dramatic door slam to illustrate an angry teenager shutting the door on the world around them. “Living with a teen is hard,” begins the ad. “Living without one is harder,” continues the PSA, as a mother is shown crying in her teenage daughter’s empty room. The PSA encourages Canadians to visit rightbyyou.ca and sign a petition to change the way youth mental health is funded. See the PSA here, created by UNION.
