The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has launched  a national public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to raise awareness of mental health problems among young adults in the African American community.

SAMSHA is working with the Ad Council and the Stay Strong Foundation.

ARLINGTON, Va. – Day after the shooting outside the Pentagon, my college student daughter called to ask, “Can’t they make the Pentagon entrance more secure?”
Standing outside Fairfax Drive here, I told my daughter that don’t let the “lack of security” deceiver her. Because terrorists crashed a commercial jet into the Pentagon on 9/11, the shooting scene, the Pentagon Metro train stop entrance, was pushed back from the building to allow more room to carefully screen people.
