Communication Campaigns


Parent Campaign

A parent-focused prevention communication campaign is currently being implemented in all junior high and high schools within Logan and Mason counties. A state-created campaign, materials are shared to encourage parents to set clear rules and communicate about alcohol and drug use with their children.

Guard & Discard Campaign

The Guard and Discard media campaign is designed to raise public awareness of the importance of safe use, safe storage and safe disposal of prescription painkillers in preventing opioid misuse. Messages for this campaign are posted throughout the counties.
