Storytelling can play a transformative role in shaping public perceptions of mental health. For World Mental Health Day, Colleen Carr, Director of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, and Noopur Agarwal, VP of Social Impact at MTV Entertainment Studios, emphasize that entertainment media has the potential to not only depict struggles but also offer narratives of hope, recovery, and well-being, encouraging viewers to see positive outcomes in their own lives. The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention highlights the need for collaboration with influential industries like entertainment to shift cultural attitudes toward mental health. By fostering partnerships and continuing dialogue, media can contribute to reducing stigma and promoting mental well-being on a national scale. #WorldMentalHealthDay #Storytelling #MentalHealth National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention
