Take Mental Health to Heart Campaign

Mental Health and Bullying

Take Part in Take Mental Health To Heart!

As many as 160,000 students stay home from school each
day because they are afraid of being bullied.

Magellan Health Services announces its second annual Take Mental Health To Heart campaign. The campaign is in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month 2012. We are focusing on mental health and bullying this year. We are encouraging people to help build a bully-free community.

We are looking at the impact that bullying has on:

• Victims.
• Witnesses.  
• Bullies.

We have partnered with The Jed Foundation to raise awareness about how bullying affects people.

Take the Pledge.  Plant a Virtual Seed!

Please leave a comment by "planting a virtual seed" on the website. You can share it with
friends and family to raise awareness about bullying. Share your pledge to end
bullying with others. Each person's seed will grow into a "tree." The trees
represent the people who have been reached by the message.  

Magellan will donate $5 to The Jed Foundation for every virtual seed planted in May. We
will donate up to $25,000.
