2024 Make Some Noise for Mental Health Campaign
2024 ACAC Make Some Noise for Mental Health Campaign Celebrates Tenth Anniversary
Edmonton, AB (October 7, 2024) - The 2024 Make Some Noise for Mental Health (MSN) campaign proudly celebrates its tenth anniversary, continuing to empower change-makers across 17 post-secondary institutions in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Since its inception in 2015, the campaign has been a signature event on the ACAC calendar, uniting student-athletes, coaches, staff, and mental health leaders in 15 ACAC communities.
Campaign Dates
The ACAC has proposed a six-week campaign running from October 10 to November 24, 2024, with the initiative kicking off on World Mental Health Day (October 10). This extended period provides ample time for ACAC sports teams and institutions to participate and host MSN events tailored to their unique strengths. A key highlight of the campaign, the MSN Blast, will take place on Wednesday, November 20.
Campaign Goals
Make It Your Own: The MSN campaign encourages each ACAC institution to leverage its strengths and resources to create impactful events. Utilize ACAC and MSN guidelines, along with strategies proven successful in previous campaigns, to foster positive mental health awareness.
Energize & Amplify: As MSN marks its tenth year, it’s a call to elevate the campaign’s impact through high-energy on-campus events and dynamic social media outreach. Let’s create a wave of mental health advocacy that resonates across all our communities.
The tenth anniversary of Make Some Noise for Mental Health is more than just a milestone—it’s an opportunity to keep the momentum going. With support from every corner, the campaign can continue breaking down barriers, sparking real conversations, and reinforcing that mental health matters. Whether through attending events, spreading the word on social media, or simply checking in on a friend, every action counts. Let the noise be louder than ever, reminding everyone that they’re never alone.
