Millennia Assists Chicago Public Schools With New Social Media Campaign

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has launched a series of innovative and comprehensive new media strategies designed to increase the availability of comprehensive sexual health education for middle and high school students. Partnering with adolescent health experts, CPS has developed a teen health website, a Facebook page, Twitter feed, and weekly automated texts to educate Chicago youth on responsible decision-making, provide them with medically accurate answers to questions, and link them to resources in the city for referral. Millennia consultants will be assisting CPS in evaluating this exciting new project. To find out more, visit the newly launched website Sex-Ed Loop. Also check out www.facebook.com/sexloop and Twitter handle @sexedloop, both of which were designed by youth at the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health.
