Resources: The Forward Together Campaign

 

The Forward Together campaign launched! Forward Together (previously Healthy Youth Campaign) is an ad campaign for parents, trusted adults, and youth ages 12-17. It’s designed to help young people feel more connected – to peers, parents, and other trusted adults. Research shows that youth who are connected are less likely to smoke, drink, vape, use marijuana, and have feelings of depression.  Check out our new website: ForwardTogetherCO.com Here are some resources to help spread the word about the new connectedness campaign: Forward Together Talking Points & FAQ Newsletter content to insert into your newsletters Social media content for your platforms Forward Together Campaign Background Historically, Colorado Departments of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and Human Services (CDHS) have created separate youth prevention campaigns that are substance-specific. We decided to streamline our youth prevention media campaign efforts and funding sources to create one campaign about connectedness to address multiple health outcomes.
