Join the Podcasts for Prevention Campaign: Use Your Voice to Save Lives

Start Day One is excited to launch Podcasters for Prevention, an innovative campaign that leverages the power of podcasts to transform mental health awareness and suicide prevention. With your favorite podcasters as vocal advocates, we aim to raise $1,000,000 and shift the global approach to mental health from crisis management to true prevention.

By joining forces with podcasters and speakers in the mental health space, you can help spread a message that empowers people to take proactive steps for their mental wellbeing before they reach a breaking point. This campaign is about inspiring action, saving lives, and creating lasting change—and you can be part of it.

As a podcaster, your voice has the power to reach thousands—maybe even millions—of listeners. By joining this campaign, you’ll be part of a movement that is dedicated to changing lives and making mental health a proactive conversation, rather than a reactive one.

Why Join Podcasters for Prevention?

• Connect to a Community with a Purpose: You’ll join a growing network of podcasters and experts in the mental health space, and advocates who share your passion. We're building a community where podcasters and guest speakers can easily find each other, fostering dynamic collaborations in the mental health space.
• Monetize Your Efforts with Impact: We understand the challenges of monetizing a podcast, especially when you're focused on helping people. It's often awkward to ask for financial support directly. But by asking for donations to our nonprofit, you can still fund your work while supporting a vital cause. The more we raise, the more we can help our community—and that includes you.
• Get Compensated for Your Contributions: As we grow, we aim to provide even more opportunities for our members. You can offer your services for free, knowing that Start Day One will compensate or reimburse you for your time and expenses. This means you can focus on creating impact without worrying about upfront costs.
• Expand Your Reach with Guest Speakers and Content: Gain access to a curated network of guest speakers, including therapists, life coaches, and inspirational advocates, to feature on your podcast. We’ll also supply you with meaningful content and stories that highlight the importance of proactive mental health.
• Exclusive Access to Events and Networking: Participate in online and offline events hosted by Start Day One, where you can network, grow your platform, and be a part of real conversations about mental health that inspire change.

How Does It Work?

• Sign Up and Join the Movement: Fill out a simple form at the bottom of this page to provide us with information about you and your podcast. After we receive your form, we’ll schedule a meeting to get to know each other and ensure that we’re a great fit. Once accepted, you will create a fundraising team page for Start Day One, allowing you to begin fundraising immediately by soliciting donations from your listeners or inviting them to join your team to help raise funds.
  
  
• Spread the Message: After you’re accepted into the campaign, you’ll be added to our growing community of podcasters and guest speakers. We’ll provide you with potential guests, compelling stories, statistics, and real-life examples that showcase how proactive mental health can save lives. You can share this powerful message on your podcast, social media, or any platform of your choice.
  
  You can invite your audience to join or donate to your fundraising team by texting "PODCASTS" to 44-321 for a link to the Podcasts for Prevention campaign page, making it easy for podcast listeners.
  
  
• Receive Support and Compensation: As a member of our community, you’ll be able to connect with fellow podcasters and speakers to collaborate on upcoming episodes. We’ll support you every step of the way, from helping you find guest speakers to offering reimbursement for podcast-related expenses. Based on your fundraising efforts and contributions to our cause, you’ll also be able to submit a claim for compensation or reimbursement for any costs incurred while spreading our message.

Why Your Voice Matters

Mental health affects millions of people worldwide, yet too often, we only respond when it’s too late. Instead of waiting for signs of distress, we encourage people to start their journey to mental health early. You can help deliver that message, reaching and inspiring them to act today—not “one day.”

At Start Day One, we aim to shift that perspective, and your voice is the key to helping us do that. With your podcast, you can reach people, who might be struggling in silence, before they hit a crisis point, inspiring them to take control of their mental health before it's too late.

Join us today and become a part of the movement that’s changing lives through conversation, awareness, and action. Together, we can create a world where no one has to wait for symptoms to be heard. Let’s make every podcast episode count—and potentially save a life.
