BrainsWay will donate $5 per share, $2 per comment, and $1 per like to support the work of Mental Health America
BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, Israel, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in the advanced noninvasive treatment of brain disorders, today announced the launch of #DontMissAnotherMoment, a social media campaign dedicated to raising awareness and sparking conversation around mental health. The campaign, which is taking place throughout the month of May, encourages people to share photos of their most cherished life moments to affirm their hope that these moments will endure even in the face of mental illness.
During the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, BrainsWay will donate up to $10,000 – with $5 per social share, $2 per social comment, and $1 per social like – to Mental Health America (MHA) in support of its continued efforts to promote mental health for all.
“Sixty million people in the United States face the day-to-day reality of living with a mental illness and every American is impacted through their friends and family,” said Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., President and CEO of BrainsWay. “Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us of what those living with mental illness are missing out on – including some of life’s most memorable moments. Our #DontMissAnotherMoment campaign supports those with mental illness by fostering their use of social media to demonstrate how joy can be found – all while raising funds for an incredible charitable organization.”
The campaign continues to show BrainsWay’s commitment to raising awareness around mental health, as well as modern options for treatment, including Deep TMS™. BrainsWay’s Deep TMS treatment is FDA-cleared for patients with depression, including depression with comorbid anxiety symptoms (anxious depression), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and smoking addiction. Through a cushioned helmet, electromagnetic pulses are administered to target deep structures within the brain in order to address the patient’s symptoms. The treatment is noninvasive, medication-free, and patients can return to normal activities, such as driving, immediately following the session.
To be a participant in the campaign, share photos of life moments you would not want to miss and include the hashtag, #DontMissAnotherMoment. You can also share and comment on BrainsWay’s social media posts on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram.
