Let’s Talk About Mental Health
• Audacy announced a multiplatform partnership with mental health innovator Genomind to help bring mental health conversations into the mainstream. As part of this alliance, Audacy will leverage the deep local connection of 15 radio stations in Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington, D.C. — to promote Genomind’s new Mental Health Map™, the first and only consumer DNA test to offer a concise, easy-to-navigate blueprint of your genetic profile and its influence on stress and anxiety, mood, focus and memory, habits and substance use, sleep, social behavior, and eating behavior. Audacy is also among the first to provide Genomind as an employee benefit to help drive more engagement and action in mental health and wellness.
“Mental health awareness is a major area of focus for us and a crucial pillar of our companywide social impact platform, and we’re excited to further activate our commitment through this partnership with Genomind,” said Sarah Harris, Audacy VP of Social Impact. “We recognize our significant influence and welcome the opportunity to use our voice, coupled with Genomind’s mental health expertise, innovations and technology, to help improve and save lives and continue our shared mission of ending the stigma of talking about mental health.”
Kip Olmstead, President of Genomind, said, “Our partnership with Audacy scales our work allowing us to bring new mental health solutions to millions of Americans who may be suffering in silence or unsure of how to get started. Audacy’s leadership in mental health is impressive and we are thrilled to find such a progressive and purpose-driven partner.”
Genomind will also serve as the sponsor for Audacy’s I’m Listening Daily Capsules, 60-second daily public service announcements as part of the company’s yearlong “I’m Listening” mental health initiative. Genomind will also serve as the presenting sponsor of Audacy’s annual I’m Listening broadcast, a live national program that brings together artists, athletes and medical specialists every September to remind listeners it’s okay to not be okay, raise awareness and end the stigma of talking about mental health.
