​What is the Anchor Campaign?

It is time to offer those who are suffering an anchor.

The Anchor Campaign is a grass-roots initiative focusing on bringing
awareness to the stigma surrounding mental health issues, suicidal ideation
​and self harm.

The campaign was founded by Lucas Silveira after rising out of his own
personal mental health struggles and having realized that silence 
is the greatest road block for individuals seeking the help they need.


​Our goal is to reach those suffering in isolation primarily via social media
by offering inspirational artistic content that brings about awareness on the
importance of self-love and self-care to our daily lives as methods
of prevention and connection. 

In the initial process of releasing this campaign, it became clear how
difficult and triggering it could be to those who suffer to tell their personal
stories due to stigma. This learning curve changed the trajectory of the
​campaign to offer connection with content rather than rely on participation to bring about awareness.

Our hopes are that this can be a small corner of the world where we can
offer some kind of connection and hope to those in need through the
simplicity of telling a personal story through art from struggle to triumph, or simply to express where you are currently sitting in your struggle.

Lucas will be using his own artistic platforms via Instagram
and Facebbook to reach others and will no longer be directly asking
for participation. But those who choose to, whether through song,
literary or visual art, dance, film or photography, are welcome to donate
their artistic voices to the conversation and send their work to us to post
under the #anchorcampaign hashtag via a pseudonym of their
choice or can choose to post it themselves on their pages.

We welcome any creative response to the topics of discussion. Whether a representation of the isolation you feel or what anchors you in difficult times.

Our goal is simple. It is to reach those in isolation to let them know that 
you are loved, you are seen and that you matter.
