What is the 1 Million Mohawks for Mental Health Challenge? Society has come a long way, but stigma around mental health still prevents countless people from talking. We are all impacted personally or by a friend or family member. We are determined to change that by bringing some much-needed attention to all of those who are suffering, and we are personally challenging you to help us do that. How? By taking the 1 Million Mohawk Challenge! STEP 1: CREATE A FUNDRAISING PAGE and share the page with your friends, family members, and whoever else you know to pledge to donate to your page. STEP 2: ONCE YOU REACH YOUR GOAL, SHAVE A MOHAWK, spike your hair, or give yourself a colored stripe down the middle of your hair - or scalp if you're bald. STEP 3: POST A VIDEO OR LIVE VIDEO along with why this is important to you. Be sure to use the #1MILLIONMOHAWKS hashtag, share, and invite everyone you know to donate towards your fundraiser. STEP 4: GO TO 1MILLIONMOHAWKS.COM and take the pledge to stand up and speak out! ~ Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters. 1 in 4 people are impacted by mental illness, and according to SAMHSA, nearly 8 million people have both a mental disorder and substance use disorder. Together, we are helping raise awareness and stop stigma around mental health in hopes that it helps someone who is struggling. Together we can stop stigma. Together we can stop suicide. Pledge to be a symbol of strength. Pledge to call out the criticism that destroys our communities. Pledge to proudly walk with others seeking help.
