In partnership with the University of California, Office of the President (UCOP), and Riverside Community College District, CCC Health & Wellness has tailored five videos to focus on the mental health needs of CCC students. The Supporting Student Veterans video was originally created by The Jed Foundation and mtvU, the Work in Progress video was originally created by Riverside Community College District and Brink Films, and all other videos were originally developed by UCOP.
Customizable PSA videos are now available for download! You can now customize the videos to include your campus branding and local resources, such as your counseling or health center phone number; a link to your campus mental health resource page; contact info for your campus mental health club(s); etc. Special versions of the videos have been created for this purpose, without the resource slides and with less branding at the end of the video. Instructions and download links are towards the bottom of this page.
Campuses are encouraged to feature the videos on their websites, share the videos through their social media pages and newsletters, and show the videos at campus events. These videos are designed to be visually appealing, informative, and compelling tools for mental health awareness and promotion. In addition, the standard (non-customized) videos are linked to helpful resource pages with relevant and audience-appropriate links about each topic.

Edit the video as needed to add campus resources, branding, etc. If you do not have in-house expertise in video editing at your campus, we recommend contacting Mob Media for this service for the above four video downloads. Mob Media originally produced these four videos for University of California, and tailored them to a community college audience for the CCC Health & Wellness.1 For the Work in Progress video you will need to contact and contract with Brink Films directly. Brink Films originally produced this video for Riverside Community College District, and tailored it to a community college audience for the CCC Health & Wellness.
Please Note: You are welcome to adapt, present, and non-commercially disseminate the videos as you like to promote your campus mental health efforts. However, we ask that you please leave as-is the beginning and ending slides that give credit to CCC Health & Wellness, its affiliates, and funders. Please contact CCC Health & Wellness if you have questions or special requests. Unfortunately, the CCC Health & Wellness Program is unable to customize the videos for you or fund PSA video customization.
- Step 3. Self-host the customized video. Your web developer can upload the video to your campus website or preferred video channel (such as on YouTube or Vimeo).
