Tomorrow X Together have teamed up with UNICEF to launch a new youth mental health campaign – find out more below.
On Tuesday (September 30), Tomorrow X Together (TXT), their label Big Hit Music and global charity organisation United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) announced a new partnership through the launch of a youth mental health campaign.
Launched at the UNICEF headquarters in New York, the campaign – titled Together For Tomorrow – will aim for TXT’s growing fanbase to encourage and promote open conversations and support for mental health among young people.
Through the partnership, TXT and Big Hit Music have pledged US$1.4million over two years to UNICEF, with plans to raise additional funds through fan engagement and other activities. The funds provided and raised by TXT will go towards various mental health programmes and efforts to provide children, teens and their caregivers with practical ways of taking care of their mental health. It will also support the training of professionals working with young people and used to fund research for mental health data.
Tomorrow X Together said in a statement: “Whenever we faced struggles in our lives, empathy, kindness and inclusion have helped us build stronger connections and find our way forward. With far too many young people today experiencing mental health challenges, we are proud to join UNICEF in encouraging young people to have respectful interactions, celebrate diversity, and support peers who may feel isolated. Together we can build the supportive relationships young people need for a compassionate, resilient tomorrow.”
In late July, TXT released ‘The Star Chapter: Together’, a collection of solo tracks from each member of the group. Tomorrow X Together’s ‘The Star Chapter: Together’ scored a four-star review from NME, with Rhian Daly writing: “Whether subtly or explicitly, as on ‘The Star Chapter: Together’, you can expect TXT to continue to emphasise and explore connection, and use it to form a bright spot in our dark world.”
Since then, it has been announced that all five members of the group have renewed their contracts with Big Hit Music.
