Youth Mental Health & Wellness Social Media Campaign Guide
This guide is directed toward families and organizations that communicate with youth and young adults during a time of many stressors. The campaigns and toolkits were each created for youth, by youth, and may be focused toward a specific culture, age, gender or purpose. Following are the tools needed to choose an appropriate campaign and embed it in your community through social media channels. Each initiative has an education and stigma reduction component built in, aimed at changing attitudes and strengthening supports for those in need. The website links below take visitors directly to “Plug and Play” assets for each campaign.
If you have questions or would like artwork in different sizes, i.e. for other media like billboards or bus signs, contact the host organization for the campaign that you would like to use. See the Social Media Guide document following this page for “how-to” tips. The toolkits include educational resources and videos.
