UPCOMING EVENTS

LET'S #MENTIONPREVENTION

The Let's #MentionPrevention campaign was entered in the dotComm Awards - an international marketing awards program run by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals. The overall campaign won a Platinum Award in the Integrated Campaign category, and the :30 video won a Platinum award for writing, and Gold awards in multiple other categories, including in the PSA and Safety categories.

#MentionPrevention is a grassroots substance use prevention, education and awareness campaign with the goal of strengthening Connecticut communities through the power of communication.

Connecticut Clearinghouse and the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services developed this portion of the campaign in collaboration with local coalitions in order to address the timely substance use-related issues that Connecticut communities face.

Presently, the focus of the campaign is to address the health risks associated with alcohol use, especially during the

COVID-19 pandemic.

Order folders, which include one of each of the Let's #MentionPrevention flyers, a wallet card, and liquor stickers. Lawn signs are also available. Contact Tom Fulton, Project Coordinator at Connecticut Clearinghouse with any questions.
