The Chainsmokers and Kygo are spreading an important message about mental health in a new video.
On Friday, the two sent love to their videographer and friend Rory Kramer in a video called “Family” which chronicles Kramer’s struggle with mental health.
The video starts with how Kramer fell in love with videography, his journey on tour and ultimately starring in his own MTV show. This was until he tore his ACL.

“Rory tore his ACL, bringing his non-stop lifestyle to a halt,” a caption at the bottom of the video reads. “Rory’s mental health took a bad turn, sending him into a dark season.”
Things only got worse as he got in a serious car accident but his family and friends gathered around him and helped him recover.
“Without his family, Rory wouldn’t have been able to carry on,” the video adds.
The story has a happy ending as Kramer reconnects with an old friend, Amy, who he is now engaged to.

“Checking up on your friends is cool,” the video says at the conclusion.
