Overwhelmed and Parenting Quiz Cab
Boys Town:
Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and hope for the future. While some children have many opportunities to shine in these areas, others don’t, because they are struggling to survive poverty, abuse, neglect, and families in crisis. Regardless of a person’s background, race, or religion, Boys Town believes that everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.
Unfortunately, even with the many young lives we save and change, there are still far too many boys and girls who could benefit from our help but don’t know how to find it. We hope you can help increase awareness to those youth (and their families) who need the unique assistance our Hotline services provide.
We have grown to become a national organization that reaches communities from coast to coast, and our scope has expanded to include in-home family counseling, health care and programs to rebuild at-risk schools.
One of our services, provided free of charge, is the Boys Town National Hotline®, a 24/7 crisis hotline for kids and parents. It provides a website specifically for teenagers called www.YourLifeYourVoice.org . For 30 years, the Boys Town National Hotline® and its extended services have been answering the call when children and parents need immediate, professional, and compassionate assistance, answering 150,000 calls, emails, texts, and chats a year.

Overwhelmed
This PSA campaign, “Overwhelmed,” addresses the tendency of many teens to literally feel distressed and demoralized by life’s everyday challenges –- especially social pressures. These three spots (:60, :30 and :15) portray a teen boy who is discouraged by friends who behave badly – and not knowing if he should join in or resist. He encounters his classmates drinking, smoking, and engaging in shady hallway transactions. His confusion leads to a gloomy outlook and feelings of isolation, which start to snowball.
“Overwhelmed” connects with the growing number of teens in this predicament and offers a way they can take the first steps to feeling positive again and not being afraid to be different. Our teen character finds support and encouragement at YourLifeYourVoicre.org — the national youth care service and 24/7 hotline from Boys Town – established a century ago with locations in communities across America.
YourLifeYourVoice.org identifies the many ways teens can become depressed, and offers tips and advice to help at-risk teens navigate their emotional pressures.
Parenting Quiz Cab
This PSA campaign, “Parenting Quiz Cab,” puts parents in the hot seat, literally. Hosted by Ben Bailey of Cash Cab fame, this fun and engaging PSA brings his quick wit and spontaneous style to the world of parenting.
