Teen Pregnancy Campaign Leaves Fear Tactics Behind

MySelfMyHealth.jpg

Eschewing fear tactics, Minneapolis marketing agency Haberman just launched Myself, My Health, a campaign for Hennepin County, MN, to promote the use of sexual health clinics by youth and young adults, particularly among audiences with higher prevalence of unplanned pregnancy.

To aid in the creation of the campaign, the agency formed a youth leadership board to give input which led to a more empowering approach to teen pregnancy prevention by emphasizing personal responsibility and knowledge.

A welcome change from Robotripping and Montana Meth.

Nobody tells you that pain doesn’t just change what you feel. It changes what you notice. After real loss, you start seeing grief in strangers’ faces at the grocery store, hearing exhaustion in your friend’s laugh, catching the micro-hesitation before someone says ‘I’m fine.’ Pain gave you a fluency you never asked for and can never unlearn
