UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF…YOU
Marijuana Prevention and Education Program
As part of the Under the Influence of… You campaign expansion, we created a series of videos for trusted adults and parent figures to help have effective communication with their children and teens about marijuana use and its consequences through three easy steps. The campaign lives on the parent hub website, StartTalkingNow.org, and was shared through a series of targeted paid media buys, social media, and print collateral for the Department of Health and its partner coalitions to share with their communities.
