Audacy Observes Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Audacy announces its plans for this time dedicated to raising awareness and promoting understanding of mental health conditions. The month-long observance aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, increase access to mental health
resources, and encourage people to prioritize their mental well-being. “I’m Listening,” Audacy’s flagship program created on the belief that the power of talk saves lives, is continuously committed to delivering more mental health conversations, resources, and pathways to help over 200 million listeners. The company says, “We are trusted companions and loyal friends to our listeners. We know the power of talk saves lives. We meet people where they are and assure them it’s okay to not be okay. Each year, Audacy activates ‘I’m Listening’ through national campaigns featuring artists, celebrities, and athletes who share their experiences with mental health. Partnering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), these events help raise awareness and support of issues that we all face in our daily lives. This year’s broadcast will air on Wednesday, September 25 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.”

We want our listeners to know they are not alone; mental health issues are common and there’s no reason to be ashamed. The campaign will promote the skills and tools to help cope and professional support available for treatment.”
