Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is preparing to launch a statewide marketing campaign focused on adolescent health on April 5th, 2021. 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
