About This Project
Summary
The "Love, Your Mind" campaign from Huntsman Mental Health Institute and The Ad Council uses athletes' influence to normalize mental health care. By partnering with 11 major sports leagues, the campaign highlights athletes sharing mental health rituals like meditation and therapy. PSAs and digital content inspire fans to adopt similar practices, reframing mental health as essential for success. The campaign’s strategy aims to demystify mental health through storytelling and practical resources.
