Elmo made a friendly appearance on “Good Morning America” this week to discuss
Sesame Street’s new initiative highlighting mental health awareness.

Earlier this year, everyone’s favorite childhood character took to X (formerly
known as twitter) to pose the question, “How is everyone doing?” What was meant
to be a simple check in turned into an outpour of responses from individuals
expressing their true feelings, ultimately resulting in the post going viral,
accumulating 217 million views on the platform. “Some people were feeling very
happy but some of them were having a hard time,” Elmo told GMA host Robin
Roberts. The post prompted Sesame Street to get proactive and create an online
space filled with emotional well-being resources catered to those struggling
with feeling anxious and overwhelmed.

On May 1, Sesame Street kicked off Mental Health Awareness Month officially
launching its mental health initiative which included animations, emotional
well-being guides for parents and guardians, and several over resources that can
be found on their website.

As Elmo sat down with Roberts to express how surprised he was from the reaction
of the viral post, his friend Dr. Rosemarie Truglio from the Sesame Workshop
also joined in on the discussion. The three discussed the viral post and the
importance of meeting the needs of kids all over the world during the mental
health crisis that is currently taking place.

“We know there’s a mental health crisis and it’s important for us to express our
feelings,” Truglio said. “We’re meeting the needs of kids today. We wanted to
make sure our stories and resources are there to help children and their circle
of care.”

Truglio touched on one of the Sesame Street workshop techniques where they make
a glitter jar to symbolize one’s feelings swirling all around, eventually giving
a calming effect as the glitter settles to the bottom.

“Glitter represents all the big feelings we’re having inside,” Truglio
explained. “So it gives us something to focus on as we’re taking a deep breath.”

While this technique is perfect for young children, anyone can make a glitter
jar.
