WHY Adolescent Health Campaign
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) invites you to partner with us as we prepare to launch a statewide marketing campaign focused on adolescent health.
The Whole Healthy You (WHY) campaign has been intentionally created with the active participation and partnership of Kansas youth. The campaign's goal is to capture the attention of adolescents and young adults and direct them to our new Youth Health Guide, an interactive PDF with trustworthy information and resources. The topics in the guide were chosen based on feedback from over 180 adolescents focus group participants across Kansas. Topics covered in the guide include:
- Stress
- Healthy Relationships
- Helping a Friend
- Mental Health
- Substance Use
- Suicide Prevention
- Social Media
- Exercise and Healthy Eating
- Well Visits
The WHY campaign will launch on April 5th and KDHE will provide digital marketing materials (html images, logos, sample social media posts, short videos, etc.) in addition to the online Youth Health Guide. We are looking for partners that will help promote the campaign and utilize the guide in school and community settings.
