MTV’s Mental Health Action Day Live Stream With Gritty in Pink X Charity Bomb
This May, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Gritty In Pink and Charity Bomb has put together a Strange Minds Virtual Livestream series. Their first show, which took place on May 11, was a major success. If you missed it, you can head to their IGTV (@grittyinpinklife) and watch the event. For their next show, they will be participating in MTV’s first ever Mental Health Action Day with the livestream taking place on May 20 at 8 p.m. MDT. Mental Health Action Day is an MTV led coalition of nonprofits, influential leaders, and brands whose ultimate goal is to help communities feel empowered and cultivate long term mental and emotional resilience
COVID-19 ignited a global pandemic that affected peoples physical health, work life, social life, and caused peoples lives to completely change. Because of this, many people have seen a dramatic increase in mental health concerns. Some have uncovered new difficulties while others have had their already existing issues amplified. It seems that we are reaching the light at the end of the tunnel, but that doesn’t mean peoples’ struggles are disappearing.
All the funds raised during this series will go to Operation GENzEQ, an organization, designed by top industry experts, interested in providing Gen Z with the necessary tools to handle their emotional life. According to founder of Charity Bomb, Matthew Leone, “Our first show was a beautiful success, with a kind and generous audience who were engaged with our preventative mental illness solution Operation GenZEQ. We are thrilled to do it again on May 20 for MTV’s MHAD!”
During this event you can expect, meaningful conversations about mental health with guests Matthew Leone; Pam McNall from Respectful Ways; Talinda Bennington, founder of 320 Foundation; emerging artist Rachel Lorin; Eva Gardner, bassist for P!nk; indie-pop star Lesibu Grand; soulful songstress Rozzi; and rising TikTok star Kesley Bou. Be sure to tune in!
