WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) – Lewis County has launched a public service campaign to draw attention to mental health issues.
Deputy public health director Anna Platz and district 2 county legislator Lisa Virkler said the campaign is similar to one the county ran during the pandemic.
Watch the video for their interview on 7 News This Morning.
The campaign videos feature Lewis County neighbors who talk about mental illness. It’s a way, they say, to reduce the stigma.
The campaign launched last week. A new video will be posted on the Lewis County Public Health Facebook page each Monday through May.
You can go to lewiscounty.org/help for a list of resources where people can get help. All the videos can be seen at lewiscounty.org/neighbors.
The suicide prevention hotline is 1-800-273-8255.
