Seize The Awkward

Seize the Awkward focuses on the idea that while it may feel a little difficult or awkward to speak to your friend about your concerns about them, if you accept the feeling as natural, you can move past the awkwardness and start a helpful/meaningful conversation. This message is shared through a series of videos featuring celebrities like Nia Sioux who joins her friends to model safe conversations about mental health and discuss their real experiences checking in with peers.
