The campaign includes public service announcements for TV and radio, which will run nationwide. The spots feature young people encouraging their peers to speak up about mental health issues and ask for help if they need it. NAB also created a new website OK2Talk, where people can view resources and post their thoughts about mental health. In addition to downloadable versions of the PSAs, NAB has made available web banners, a toolkit for reporters, and other media resources on its website. Mental Health America is a partner in the campaign.
