Kids whose parents talk about the
dangers of substance use are
50% less likely to use alcohol and drugs
than those who don’t.
#talk2me
#Talk2Me is a social norms campaign, developed in partnership with HC3, YAC and the Fulton County Prosecutor’s Office.
Fulton County parents have tremendous influence over their children
when it comes to decisions about substance use.
63% of Fulton County youth report their PARENTS as the number one influence in making substance use choices.
Fulton County Community Health Status Report, 2016
Unfortunately, the majority of our youth also report that their parents have NOT
spoken with them on a regular basis about dangers of substance use.
The #Talk2Me campaign is designed to grab the attention of Middle School and High School parents with
a reminder to speak to your child about the dangers of substance use and USE YOUR IMPACT!
#Wetalked - a selfie contest for parents
HC3 ran a selfie contest for parents from 10/1/17 - 11/30/17.
During this contest parents were encouraged to talk with their kids about the dangers of substance use,
take a selfie with their child and post this image on social media with the hashtag #WeTalked, #IndiansTalk, etc.

School Spirit T-shirts
HC3 and YAC collaborated with the Fulton County Prosecutor’s Office who will fund spirit shirts for all 6th/7th/8th graders in the county. The front of the shirts will reflect the school’s mascot and the back of the shirts will utilize the Talk2Me logo to engage parents to build skills through the many resources available on our HC3 website.
Yac wins top 10 spot for talk2me video
The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) wanted to support parents in increasing conversations with their youth. They created a video PSA, entitled, Use your Impact…Talk2Me to help parents understand the influence they have as well as to build parental skills for increased conversations.
