That’s why we’re helping advertisers support youth mental health—by aligning with expert-validated content that builds resilience and digital well-being, while driving stronger campaign performance.
Young people today face unprecedented mental health challenges—and digital environments play a defining role in their well-being. At Channel Factory, we’re bringing our Conscious Advertising philosophy directly into this space, helping advertisers align with expert-validated content that builds resilience, wellness, and digital well-being—while driving stronger campaign performance and supporting a more positive online ecosystem for youth.
We’re proud to launch Channel Factory’s Youth Mental Health Initiative with a message from our Chief Strategy Officer, Phil Cowdell. In this video, he shares why we believe advertising can be a force for good—and how our Positive Inclusion Lists help brands foster healthier online environments for youth while also driving business performance.
We believe in doing good business while doing good. We show how avoiding negative content while aligning with positive content increases campaign efficiency and effectiveness—while supporting media wellness, social responsibility, and sustainability. We invite like-minded marketers, agencies, platforms, and mental health advocates to join us on this journey.
By aligning advertising with values that matter, we aim to support safer, healthier digital environments for young people, while strengthening both brand trust and performance.

We’ve curated 5,500 expert validated, positive inclusion lists of content that foster resilience, wellness, and digital well-being—giving advertisers a way to support positive content while still driving performance.
We’re working with academics and youth mental health specialists to review and validate these inclusion lists—ensuring they reflect credible standards, evidence-based practices, and expert insights.
We’re also collaborating with nonprofits, advocates, and academics to raise the visibility of educational content that drives awareness and supports youth well-being.
