FACT announced the creation and availability of their agency-designed campaign in mid-October. “REACH OUT” FACT Mental Health + Nicotine Campaign materials are now available in the FACT Resource Google Folder.
The tagline “Reach Out” and related materials were created based on submissions to last year’s Mental Health + Nicotine Contest and finalized with the youth board. These materials include resources to quit vaping/tobacco use and mental health resources. Another aspect to this campaign is sharing how FACT members and their peers cope with stress in a healthy way instead of using tobacco products like vapes.
