Lately, everybody has been posting on Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat of them pouring buckets of ice on themselves and others as a part of a challenge. Though, what is this challenge?
The USC Speak Your Mind Challenge is a predecessor of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from back in summer of 2014.
The goal of the challenge is to, if nominated by someone, pour a bucket of water on yourself or have someone else do it, and then nominate 3 other people to do the same challenge.
The message and goal behind the challenge this time is different from the goal of the challenge in 2014, which was to grow awareness of ALS disease.
This time, the goal is to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, as well as raise funds for this cause.Â
The amount of people doing this and the cause can inspire future challenges like this where everyone is having fun and sending a good message.
