Mental health is a topic of interest, since due to COVID-19 it has been identified that there was an increase in Peruvians suffering from depression, anxiety and, among other problems. The study aims to analyze the feelings and values perceived by students at a private university regarding UNICEF's #ENMIMENTE campaign to raise awareness about mental health. The research was carried out under the phenomenological paradigm and design, with a qualitative approach, since there is a need to know the perspective that is constructed through the use of storytelling in social advertising. Using the semi-structured interview data collection technique, 20 interviews were conducted with students in the final stages of their psychology degree. The results identify that the advertising discourse revolves around raising awareness of mental health and the change in attitude that it produces in the interviewees to reflect on this problem. In conclusion, through eight elements of advertising, positive and negative emotions can be transmitted. Likewise, interviewees can perceive values through four elements.
