Key Findings

1. The WeRise/WhyWeRise Campaign reached more than one in five Los Angeles County youth in a short period.
2. People exposed to the campaign reported more- supportive attitudes toward people with mental illness and greater mobilization toward action around mental health issues.

As a step toward meeting the mental health needs of residents in Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LAC DMH) launched the WhyWeRise campaign in May 2018. The campaign is intended to promote community engagement with mental health issues, targeted at youth ages 14–24. The campaign's ultimate goals are to increase access to mental health care and improve understanding of mental health challenges.
