Radio and TV Execs join together to celebrate this groundbreaking achievement! 

WASHINGTON, DC – November 15, 2022 Howard University’s WHUT-TV, a PBS affiliate, receives a Congressional Proclamation for its Outstanding Programming in Mental Health Awareness courtesy of the ARC12 Project Open Lines with contributions from radio personalities Frank Ski and Joe Clair. An exclusive private screening and reception was recently held at the WHUT-TV studios on the Howard University campus attended by Howard University dignitaries, Howard University students, and the courageous ARC12 Project cast members including ARC12 Project co-founder and Howard University Senior Noah Thierry, Christian Capellan, and Austin Carmichael.

The post screening activities featured a discussion on mental health awareness lead by WHUR 96.3 and nationally syndicated air personality Frank Ski featuring the ARC12 Project Open Lines contributors inclusive of an emotionally charged and engaging Q and A session involving the student audience.

Angie Ange, Director of Content for WHUT-TV says, “I am so proud, inspired, and energized by this unique and important program on Mental Health and rightfully excited to bring this awareness initiative onto all of our WHUT platforms.  Since we take Mental Health very seriously, the program’s openness, honesty, transparency, and relatability sets a new bar on creative and impactful mental health programming. We intend to continue this important conversation and expand our relationship with the ARC12 Project on other necessary Mental Health initiatives.”

Sean Plater, General Manager for WHUT-TV says, “We are honored to be recognized for our place in this important conversation surrounding Mental Health.  I’d like to thank the ARC12 Project for serving up such a powerful, dynamic, and educationally stimulating programming piece. I know it’s rawness and realness will serve to not only inspire, but it will save lives.”

Frank Ski says, “This groundbreaking ARC12 Project Open Lines program will help families better understand how they can help.”

Gary Bernstein, President of Oceanic Tradewinds and co-creator of the Arc12 Project says, “This powerful programming is part of an ambitious movement inspired by Mark Thierry and his son Noah who live this in real life every single day. They carry the courage and creativity it takes to empower others with practical tools which can advance a timely and absolutely critical dialogue surrounding mental health.”

Within the TV program, famed Greaterness Coach Dr. Michael brilliantly and carefully guides this important discussion on mental health whereby each cast member felt safe being vulnerable especially in talking about their own brush with suicide.

The ARC12 Project’s co-founder Noah Thierry also recently received the distinguished congressional President’s Service Award for its exemplary and innovative work in the mental health field. [award link]

ABOUT ARC12 PROJECT

The Arc 12 Project combines media and manufacturing with the express purpose of raising funds and creating programming supporting mental health awareness.
