ABOUT MTVi CAMPAIGNS *

MTV UK asked you what were the issues that you were most concerned about and wanted information on. From all the feedback we received we realised that there were three main areas that affected your daily lives. These were violence, drugs and mental health and on this site you will find some helpful information and links that you might need to make decisions. As well as these three topics you will also find information on safer sex and climate change which are two subjects that MTV has championed around the world.

This is just the start and MTV UK will regularly add more topics over the next months.

SEXUAL HEALTH

Staying Alive is MTV’s global HIV and AIDS prevention campaign. For the past two decades it has challenged stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS and empowered young people to protect themselves from infection. It has become the world’s largest HIV and AIDS media campaign and working with partners globally continues to give help and support to anyone who has been affected by HIV and AIDS.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Launched in 2007, MTV SWITCH is the first dedicated campaign on climate change for young people. MTV believes that no action – however small – is insignificant when it comes to making a difference to global warming. So try our very own carbon calculator and work out how you can make a difference.

ANTI-VIOLENCE

With violence against young people increasing throughout the UK, MTV has teams up with Urban Concepts to provide information and advice regarding this sensitive subject.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH

It is never easy to talk to people about how you are feeling about your life. MTVi has partnered with Big White Wall to offer ways to express yourself anonymously and get support from others.

DRUGS

If you are going to be exposed to drugs or drug use then you need to know the facts. On this site you will find the basics on drugs, what they do and what their side effects.
