Seize the Awkward

The Ad Council

When the world doesn't listen, be the friend who does. Many of us feel like we can’t discuss our mental health for many reasons. Seize the Awkward encourages young people to push past pervasive taboos, misconceptions and stigmas about mental health by seizing the awkward and reaching out to a friend.
