Seize the Awkward | Friendship & Mental Health | Ad Council

Nobody likes an awkward silence. In fact, we usually try to avoid it. But sometimes, an awkward silence can be a good time to check in with a friend about their mental health.
If you’ve noticed your friend hasn’t seemed themselves recently, break through the awkward silence and ask them how they’re feeling. Because showing you care can make a real difference to your friend’s mental health.
So, find out how to seize the awkward today at seizetheawkwar...
