The Ducks Have Been Washed In Dawn, But PTSD Doesn’t Clean Up As Neatly

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in collaboration with the Ad Council today expanded efforts to continue to provide information, support and resources to individuals and families affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

“While the immediate crisis is over, many Gulf Coast residents continue to need support as they work to rebuild their lives after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is natural for some people to need help over time in dealing with the emotional trauma and distress experienced from such an event and associated losses,” said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde, J.D.
The new television, English and Spanish radio ads and outdoor public service advertisements were created by Grey New York, Clear Channel Creative Services Group and Lamar Advertising through the Ad Council.

Editor’s note: See the ducks washed in Dawn, that I reference in the headline.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
