  We've all seen the new ice bucket challenge. But is it doing more than harm than good?

The article from Her Campus at UCLA discusses the new "Ice Bucket Challenge for Mental Health," which aims to raise awareness and funds for mental health issues, similar to the original ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. However, the author questions whether this new challenge misses the point by focusing on a viral trend rather than addressing the deeper, systemic issues surrounding mental health. The piece highlights the importance of destigmatizing mental health, increasing access to resources, and promoting long-term support rather than relying on short-lived social media campaigns. It suggests that while the challenge may bring temporary attention to mental health, it is crucial to engage in more substantial efforts to create lasting change and support for those affected by mental health conditions.
