LiveFree999 - Mental Health PSA

His name is Jarad. But the world knew him as Juice WRLD. Jarad released four studio albums, nine EPs, two mixtapes, 35 singles and is one of the most streamed artists ever. What the world doesn’t know was the depth of his struggle with addiction and mental health.
At the height of his fame we all lost him, to an accidental drug overdose.
Carmela Wallace, Jarad’s mother, started Live Free 999, a non-profit organization, to remove the stigma and normalize conversations around mental health and substance abuse. Her goal? To ensure that no other parent or loved one faces what she faced.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 19.7 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2017. And there are likely many members of your own community struggling, who need to hear this message.
A new and powerful public service announcement produced in partnership between Live Free 999 and The Entertainment Industry Foundation, encourages people to reach out for help whether suffering from mental crisis or addition personally, or as a family member or friend. Founder In her own words, Carmela established Live Free 999 “to help those who suffer in silence and to normalize the conversation about mental health and addiction.”
With gratitude,
Carmela Wallace
