Welcome to The Spartanburg Area Mental Health Media Center

 

We believe all forms of media (news, entertainment, social) have the power to make a transformational impact on health and mental health, when used accurately, safely and in ethical, developmentally appropriate ways. This initiative aims to understand and improve the impact of media on mental health through partnerships, collaboration, and projects aimed to enhance the prosocial, safe use of media in multiple forms.

You Matter Now and Always!

As May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) & Latinx Outreach Program at SAMHC wants our community to know that they matter. In a world where its easy to feel isolated, unheard, and unseen, sometimes we need a reminder to know and feel like we are valued and appreciated. Saying “You matter” not only to other people, but as well as to ourselves, can feel uplifting, create a sense of comfort, reassurance, and belonging of one’s place in this world. Our words are important and have the power to change one’s entire day and can make all the difference, especially when coming from a place of compassion and understanding. We want you to know that we hear you, we see you, and know that you are not alone. You matter, today, tomorrow, and always!

 

National Suicide Prevention Month 2021

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and we want to remind our communities they are not alone and that support is always available. The "Hold On To Me" campaign is to let our communities, friends, and families know that, when times are tough, there is always someone to hold on to. When we hold on to each other, we are stronger and we ensure hope lives in South Carolina!
