suicide prevention starts with a conversation we're not having with our mental health due to stigma. the first step to breaking that silence is dispelling stigmas of fear, judgement, and shame about our internal experiences. we achieve that by proclaiming it’s #OKNotToBeOK. if you or someone you know is in need of help consider visiting @HopeForTheDay (HFTD) a non-profit movement empowering the conversation on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education.

In a press release, issued by Hope for the Day founder Jonny Boucher, he shares, “Marshmello and Lovato will be using their respective platforms to uplift others and help provide resources for those that need it most as part of the partnership with Hope for the Day.  We are excited to be teaming up with Demi Lovato and Marshmello on this project to break the stigma around mental health on world suicide prevention day.  Hope for the Day’s work in suicide prevention and mental health education thrives when we collaborate with others and what better than two of the largest artists in the world to work with on a track that reminds everyone, it’s OK not to be OK.”
