BTS and Big Hit Music have been supporting the campaign #ENDviolence by initiating the ‘LOVE MYSELF’ campaign, in partnership with the Korean Committee for UNICEF since November 2017, to assist children and adolescents affected by violence.
The #OnMyMind campaign aims not only to prevent various forms of violence against children and adolescents but also to promote the understanding that it is natural for children and adolescents to experience various emotions, and to encourage them to freely talk about their feelings, mental health, and overall well-being.
1/5 of children frequently experience depression in their daily lives
Every 11 minutes, one child takes their own life
75% of adolescents face mental health challenges before reaching the age of 24
1/4 of children worldwide live with parents who suffer from mental health disorders
Children and adolescents can maintain healthy mental conditions in a safe and joyful environment.
Trauma experienced during infancy and the preschool period can persistently impair mental health, having severe impacts throughout an individual’s lifetime.
Experiencing emergencies such as natural disasters, poverty, climate change, and COVID-19 can adversely affect children’s mental health.
