TPT Tackles Mental Health
IN GOOD COMPANY Next Avenue created In Good Company , a special project designed to address the epidemic of loneliness and isolation affecting many older adults. The project focused on helping people recognize and normalize loneliness and isolation, while also finding ways to build connection. In addition to producing more than 30 original articles, Next Avenue surveyed 105,000 readers, asking about their experiences of loneliness and isolation, interviewed several readers directly, and prototyped new efforts to help readers feel more connected to their communities and each other.
THE RACE TO SOLVE SUICIDE Nearly one in five Americans lives with a mental health condition. In Fall 2022, PBS will premiere The Race to Solve Suicide , a new TPT-produced documentary, accompanied by an ambitious national engagement plan. Fromthe start of theproject, TPThas collaborated with three leading national organizations: the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the college campus-based JED Foundation to ensure that the film has maximum impact.
