Download as a PDF

This is the most recent NCSH quarterly social media campaign, which includes sample sexual health content that you can use and/or adapt for your digital and social media channels. We have formatted this content for X (Twitter), but it can be adapted for Facebook as well. The campaign contains three parts:

Part 1: This campaign provides a fresh, up-to-date look at birth control options, accessibility, and usage within the changing landscape of reproductive health. As the range of contraception options evolves, this campaign also includes content on newer methods and innovations in contraception.

Part 2: This section features sample tweets in support of key health observances, holidays, and other cultural milestones that will be taking place over the next three months.

Part 3: This section includes social media graphics to accompany Parts 1 and 2. This part of the document contains links to graphics on Canva which are designed for Instagram but can be reformatted for other social media sites if desired.

The key observances for this quarter include:

• National Immunization Awareness Month (August)
• Back to School (August)
• National Health Center Week (August 4-10)

Here's a sample of what you can find in the full campaign: 

  • 💻Getting prescription #birthcontrol has never been easier thanks to telehealth. @Bedsider has created a directory of online birth control providers to make it even simpler! https://www.bedsider.org/find-health-care/online-birth-control #freethepill #thxbirthcontrol

  • When it comes to birth control, it’s often assumed that it’s women’s work. So, what options do men have to protect themselves and their partner(s)? https://www.webmd.com/sex/birthcontrol/male-contraceptives

  • @ZEROCancer created a list of sites where people can access free, timely prostate cancer testing: https://zerocancer.org/free-prostate-cancer-testing-near-you #takecharge #ZEROProstateCancer

  • Stigma and silence keep many older and aging adults unaware of their HIV/AIDS status. This #NHAAD, remember: no one is “too old” to discuss and care for their sexual health. Sexuality is a part of us from birth until our last breath. https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/hiv-aids/hiv-aids-andolder-adults #talktesttreat #HIVandAging
