Our Why
Young people across Milwaukee are carrying anxiety, depression, isolation, grief, and pressure, often while pretending they are fine. Too many students feel like they have to struggle alone. The 1More Campaign is a call to action for schools, families, friends, and the broader community to stop waiting for a crisis and start showing up earlier. Mental health support starts with connection.
Led by Youth. Built for Community.
1More is not just for young people—it’s created with them. Youth voices shape every part of this work, from messaging to strategy, ensuring it reflects real experiences and real needs.
Our Goals:
Conversation
Break stigma and increase awareness around mental health through real stories and youth-led messaging.
Connection
Create spaces where young people feel seen, supported, and connected to each other.
Way to Get Help
Make it easier for youth and young adults to find and access the resources they need when they need them.
What Does “1More” Mean?
1More conversation.
1More check-in.
1More moment to listen.
1More reason to stay.
Sometimes, one more is all it takes.

Get Involved
This is a youth led mental health campaign out of Milwaukee, built by young people who are speaking on what they are really going through. It is about breaking silence, preventing suicide, and making sure nobody feels alone. This is not just awareness, this is action and real support. We are showing up for each other and protecting our lives, together.
