Also, put me in the camp that believes mental health is not as super-serious as many people think.

I'm going to agree and disagree with you on here. Coming from a background of dealing with these types of issues, and not necessarily going through the "medical model" a lot of companies chose not to use our service, most likely because they wouldn't be as "visible" in their charitability.
On the second point, you're dead wrong. There's a ton of evidence that would counter your thinking; in addition to the stigmas attached to why these campaigns are helping to let people know where to look for help (although sometimes that process can be a nightmare to sift through).
