Want to Do a Video? Here’s an Easy Way

Want to post a short video but not sure where to start? Pick one prompt and answer it in your own words. You can talk to the camera, record a voiceover, or put text on screen over clips from your day. Keep it short. Keep it honest. It does not have to be perfectly edited. If you want help cleaning it up, send us your video, and we can help edit it.

• Talk directly to the camera
• Use a voiceover with clips from your day
• Put text on screen with music
• Answer one prompt in 30 to 60 seconds

Your video does not have to look like an influencer made it. It just has to sound like you.

5 Easy Video Prompts

VIDEO PROMPT 1

What I thought recovery would take from me vs. what I gained

Talk about what you were afraid treatment or recovery would take away from you, and what it actually gave you back.

VIDEO PROMPT 2

I never thought I’d post this

Talk about why this moment feels meaningful. What are you proud of now that people may not have seen?

VIDEO PROMPT 3

What I’d tell someone who’s scared to get help

Talk like you are speaking to one person who knows they need help but feels scared, embarrassed, or unsure where to start.

VIDEO PROMPT 4

What I wish I knew before asking for help

Talk about what would have made the first step feel less scary, or what you wish someone had told you earlier.

VIDEO PROMPT 5

Healing isn’t linear

Talk about what you wish people understood about healing, bad days, setbacks, or progress that does not always look perfect.

You Control Your Own Story

You do not have to share anything you are not comfortable sharing. You do not have to include details that feel too personal, painful, or triggering. You can keep parts of your story private and still help someone. You should not share names of any other patients or support group members.

Before you post, ask yourself:

• Am I okay with people knowing this part of my story?
• Does this feel safe for me to share?
• Could this help someone feel less alone?
• Am I leaving out details that may be too personal or triggering?

• Am I ready for people to comment, message me, or ask questions?
