Essentially, the campaign helps make individuals
more optimistic, mentally agile, self-aware,self-regulating. It enables one to focus on onesstrengths and build better connections with the
people around him or her.
Mindstrong, like an earlier campaign,My Happy Hour, is an initiative not to treat
depression but to prevent it by taking positivesteps in small, regular doses.
