Teens for Healthy Youth (THY) is an initiative of LowCountry Alliance for Healthy Youth.
Be Part of the Solution
WSAV has now launched LCAHY’s Public Health Awareness Campaign that encourages our community to send clear messages about the dangers of youth drinking, tobacco, and drug use. The commercials below are being shown on their channel. WSAV has launched the campaign on Facebook also.
Talk They Hear You
Since its inception, LowCountry Alliance for Healthy Youth has partnered with SAMHSA’s national substance use prevention campaign, “Talk. They Hear You.”, to promote resources that help parents and caregivers start talking with their children early about the dangers of alcohol and other drugs.
This campaign aims to reduce underage drinking and other substance use among youths under the age of 21 by providing parents and caregivers with the information and resources they need to address youth alcohol and other drug use.
See SAMHSA’s resources for talking with your teen about alcohol and other drugs:
