Instagram has developed tools to help people considering self-harm, and as part of the new initiative, Seventeen magazine and Instagram are welcoming everyone with open arms with a new hashtag. "We listen to mental health experts when they tell us that outreach from a loved one can make a real difference for those who may be in distress," Instagram said in a release. "At the same time, we understand friends and family often want to offer support but don't know how best to reach out." These tools, which can be used for a variety of mental health-related issues, such as eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and countless others, are available around the world. Instagram users can report posts they consider to exhibit dangerous behavior. The next time the user uses the app, resources will appear within Instagram, which the social platform designed with the help of over 40 organizations around the world. In addition to the new tools, Seventeen, Instagram and Hearst Magazine Digital Media teamed up to create the #PerfectlyMe campaign. It encourages Instagram users to celebrate their bodies and continue to redefine body standards in our culture. "The most amazing thing about social media," said Seventeen's editorial director, Michele Promaulayko, "is that it has the power to spread a message exponentially. And surprisingly, positive messages go farther, faster than negative ones." "One of Seventeen's ongoing missions is to encourage girls to feel confident in the... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
