Could your campus benefit from BRAVE TALK?
Brave Talk was developed by Maybelline New York in partnership with The Jed Foundation as part of Maybelline’s commitment to support young adult mental health. It is a free, expert-developed training designed to be delivered by college staff to empower students with the skills to support peers who may be struggling and help connect them to care.

STORM REID
WHAT IS YOUR CONNECTION TO MENTAL HEALTH?
I’m privileged to be a part of a show and brands that care deeply about mental health. Mental health can look different for everyone, so I try my best to be of service when caring, talking about, and recognizing mental health in others while also taking care of myself.
WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO FORM OF SELF-CARE?
Listening to music is a big part of my self-care routine. I don’t care where I’m at in the world or how I’m feeling; turning on music makes me feel better.
WHAT DOES RAISE YOUR HAND MEAN TO YOU?
While it is a challenging topic to talk about, it’s essential, and this provides people an opportunity to engage in conversation about mental health to make them feel less alone.
Maybelline has always believed in the power of making things happen in your life, and we know that mental health is critical in feeling ready to do that. We want to use our brand’s global reach to drive this conversation and make support easily accessible.
