Instagram Launches Campaign to Promote Mental Health Awareness

#HereForYou helps users find resources and support

Social media is sometimes criticized as a platform that breeds unhealthy comparison with friends and strangers. However, for Mental Health Awareness Month, one of the most widely used platforms is using its online community to address issues that millions struggle with every day.

The one-minute spot features Instagram users talking about their past struggles with eating disorders, depression and suicidal thoughts.
