Samariteens Break Hotline Awareness Campaign

A pro bono campaign for the Samariteens from Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos will break May 9, Suicide Awareness Day.

The print effort is the first public awareness push for Samariteens, a nonprofit organization that runs a suicide prevention hotline for teenagers.

“The campaign is an effort to get teens to use the hotline,” said Sheridan Haines, executive director at Samaritans of Boston.

Samariteens was spun off from the better known Samaritans suicide prevention program. Artwork from the campaign will be available to other branches nationwide.

One execution shows a morgue with three drawers labeled with three causes of death, “Stroke,” “Cancer” and “Teased about her weight.”
