Leading up to the launch on July 7, one PSA will be posted every Friday and we will highlight an important organization supporting issues around mental health and wellness.

“Ghost BFF” follows two best friends — one alive and the other dead — across space, time and the suburbs as they struggle to find themselves and right past wrongs following a suicide. The series sheds light on taboo topics such as anxiety, depression and suicide through dark humour.

“During this public health crisis, it’s become very clear to us that we needed to use our moment to promote the show, to ensure we were bringing as much awareness as possible to the mental health issues surrounding us and to shine a spotlight on organizations that are making a difference,” said producers Katie Nolan and Lindsay Tapscott, and Vanessa Matsui, show creator and lead, in a statement.
