Hope Means Nevada’s “#Ask5 To Smash Stress” Campaign Announces April 11-17 Virtual Events Highlighting Emotional Self-Care

For the second week of its monthlong “#Ask5 to Smash Stress” social media campaign for National Stress Awareness Month, Hope Means Nevada (HMN), the community-based non-profit focused on eliminating youth suicide in the state, will focus on Physical Self-Care.

All month long, HMN is asking the public to help Hope Means Nevada Smash Stress for the teens in their lives: #Ask5 young people if they are OK, then donate $5 to support HMN’s mental wellness education campaign.

Throughout April, daily content published to @HopeMeansNevada’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok pages will educate teens about mental health as a means of intervention and prevention of teen suicide. The campaign is sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
