In December 2006, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in partnership with the Advertising Council, launched the Campaign for Mental Health Recovery (CMHR), formerly known as the National Anti-Stigma Campaign.

It is a national public education effort that improves the general understanding of mental illness, promotes recovery, and encourages help-seeking behaviors across the age span. With grassroots support from States and community organizations, the CMHR accomplishes its goals through TV and radio Public Service Announcements, a Web site, and print and transit advertising

The ADS Center supports the CMHR in several ways. The ADS Center:

• Aids State coordinators and local regional partners in developing and planning collaborative activities to support the CMHR.
• Provides training and technical assistance to CMHR partners.
• Connects individuals with people in their State who are working on projects to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness.
