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 Twitter, but it can be adapted for Facebook as well. The campaign contains two parts:

Part 1: Our theme for this campaign is Dating in a Digital World. It includes tweets relating to online dating generally, finding or creating safe and healthy communities online, safety tips for meeting someone in person, optimizing your online dating experience, and getting the sexual health talk started with a new partner.

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