Think about It! Campaign

The Florida Governor’s Office of Drug Control and the Florida Department of Children and Families have partnered with Clear Channel Communications to implement a statewide multi-media educational marketing campaign to bring awareness to youth and their parents about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. This campaign utilizes radio, billboard, and the internet as marketing tools to deliver substance abuse prevention messages to the public.

Through this campaign community coalitions are able to take advantage of valuable marketing resources that can be used in their respective communities. For more information on obtaining these resources please email Robin Peters.
