In partnership with local radio personality and entrepreneur Wayne “Wild
Wayne” Benjamin, Jr., University Medical Center New Orleans (UMC)
is excited to launch “Vital Signs,” a comprehensive mental
wellness campaign that will run from October 10, which is World Mental
Health Day, through December 31. Designed to shed light on critical mental
health issues affecting the New Orleans community, the campaign will focus
on topics such as stress, trauma, depression, generational trauma, grief
management, and holiday stress.
Vital Signs will also feature content aimed at reducing the stigma around
mental health in communities of color, providing specific resources and
tools to help families address and break the cycles of generational trauma.
The campaign will be available across multiple platforms, ensuring the
hospital can reach those in need, where they are, with the resources to
find help.
