The new resource center,
www.ShowYourLoveToday.com,
is a clinically-reviewed
hub for overall health improvement. The entire resource features
one-click, easily-sharable facts, multimedia and resources that
encourage positive daily
choices before pregnancy. The site highlights physical, mental,
sexual and reproductive health topics, as well as tools to help young
adults take strides to achieve educational, financial, family and life
goals. The Wellness Visit section includes resources
to help consumers better understand how to access health care, what to
expect before, during and after a clinic visit, and how to make the most
of health provider face-time.
In working towards a more diverse, gender-inclusive, holistic health approach, PCHHC funded
14 organizations
to message test, expand, and diversify
preconception and campaign messages and educational materials. New
products, messages, and program outcomes will be available late-fall
2016.
As part of the Show Your Love social media campaign, PCHHC is recruiting Show Your Love Ambassadors:
young adults ages 18-30 who will help model and promote healthy behaviors and life choices online and in their communities.
Ambassadors will receive Show
Your Love branded gear, share their health journey on their social
channels, and be prominently featured on the Show Your Love and partner
platforms. Volunteer
or make an Ambassador nomination here.
