"White Lotus" creator Mike White has a knack for getting people riled up. The first season of the HBO series, which aired last year and focused on the privileged (and predominantly white) guests of the five-star titular resort in Hawaii and the more diverse staff who served them, prompted heated debates online about classism, imperialism, and the physics of suitcase defecation. Season two, which airs its finale Dec. 11, offers viewers another anxiety-inducing stay at the ritzy hotel - this time located in the Italian city of Taormina, Sicily - and the chance to spend time with a sliding scale of entitled vacationers played by the likes of Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli, and Jennifer Coolidge, reprising her role as Tanya McQuoid, the sympathetic or insufferable socialite, depending on the day.

Last year, as vaccine skepticism flew around the internet, YouTube rolled out new features to ensure its community could access useful health advice. A year later, medical misinformation is still rampant, and the Google-owned platform is doubling down on its pledge to provide accurate results. The health products that arrived on YouTube in 2021 are now available to “certain categories of healthcare professionals and health information providers,” such as doctors, nurses, and mental health professionals.
The assets in question include informative panels that add context to medical videos, as well as shelves of trusted content that will appear as results for relevant searches. Those tools were previously limited to a select group of partners, including educational institutions, public health departments, hospitals, and government entities. Now, YouTube is asking individuals to apply if they want to bring factual features to their own channels.
Applicants must be licensed medical professionals who are “in good standing with YouTube.

Amid the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, YouTube is reimagining its approach to health content, and has charged a new executive with bringing more authoritative and engaging health-focused programming to its platform.
To lead these efforts, YouTube has named Dr. Garth Graham (pictured above) director and global head of healthcare and public health partnerships. Graham previously served as the chief community health officer at Cvs Health, and the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health under both the Obama and Bush administrations.
Graham's work will revolve around three key pillars, per YouTube: delivering 'credible information' with respect to illness symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment; 'guided practices', including fitness classes and physical therapy demos; and 'emotional support', in the form of both testimonials and fostering community.
At the same time, YouTube has announced partnerships with several prominent health care institutions with whom it plans to collaborate on content initiatives. These include: The American Public Health Association,...

World Mental Health Day is being spotlighted by two public service initiatives by HBO and Comedy Central, both designed to bring awareness to the health condition and remove the stigma of seeking treatment.
Comedy Central, in partnership with Mental Health First Aid (Mhfa), a program of the National Council for Behavioral Health, today premiered its Be The Difference public service announcement (PSA) featuring Jeff Ross, Matteo Lane and Yamaneika Saunders.
The spot is the initial step in Comedy Central’s first long-term social impact campaign that will focus on driving culture change on mental health. Working with its launch partners, Comedy Central will integrate the campaign across all brand platforms, including linear series, social content and live events, with the goal of making emotional health as important as physical health.
The Be The Difference PSA begins airing today on Comedy Central’s linear channel and will air throughout the month of October.

Starting October 10 — World Mental Health Day — HBO is adding mental health awareness disclaimers, called “bumpers”, to select episodes of its programming, including from shows like “Euphoria”, “Barry”, and “The Sopranos”. These bumpers will specifically occur before episodes that feature scenes of mental illness, as well as provide the phone number for a mental health hotline (1.833.HBO.Nami) for viewers to call for help with related issues.
The bumpers are all part of HBO’s new “It’s Ok” initiative and its aim to raise awareness and destigmatize the conversation surrounding mental health. According to a statement released by HBO, with It’s Ok, the cable network will “highlight a diversity of characters seen throughout the network’s series whose stories can help to normalize the conversation.”
“HBO has always been at the forefront of telling stories featuring complex characters, some of whom deal with mental illness, from ‘The Sopranos to ‘Euphoria,...

HBO is adding brief messages to the beginning of select television episodes that include scenes of mental illness. The disclaimers, called “bumpers,” provide a mental health hotline to call if viewers are in need of help.
These 10-second long bumpers are part of HBO’s new initiative, “It’s Ok,” which aims to destigmatize conversations around mental health. Starting Oct. 10, World Mental Health Day, the bumpers will appear before episodes featuring scenes in characters grapple with mental illness, and note which topics the episode touches on — such as bipolar disorder, substance abuse or depression — followed by this message: “If you or someone you know is in need of help, please call 1-833-hbo-Nami.”
The National Alliance on Mental Health (Nami), and its local affiliate Nami NYC partnered with HBO to create the bumpers, which will air in front of select episodes of HBO’s “Barry,” “Euphoria,” “Girls,” “The Sopranos,...

HBO has announced it will add mental health awareness “bumpers” ahead of select shows in order to identify specific mental illnesses that appear in the episode and provide a call to action for anyone seeking help.
The move comes as part of an initiative at the network called “It’s Ok,” which aims to destigmatize mental illness and encourage conversation around mental health issues. Earlier this year, a report by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that less than 2% of all film characters and roughly 7% of TV characters experience mental health conditions on screen, a failure to reflect the fact that close to 20% of the U.S. population reports some form of mental health condition or illness each year.
The premium cabler partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Health (Nami) to create the warnings which are modeled on “The following program is rated…” slates that appear before movies and other shows.
