The It’s Up to Us campaign is designed for the residents of Riverside County to empower them to talk openly about mental health, practice mental wellbeing, utilize local resources and seek help. Through this awareness with access to tools and resources, we aim to inspire overall community wellness, reduce stigma, and prevent suicide in our community. Mental wellbeing is possible, and help is available. It’s Up to Us to learn more and make a difference for our community members experiencing mental health challenges by offering support and providing opportunities.

This campaign is developed through the Riverside University Health System – Behavioral Health, and funded by the Mental Health Services Act.
