Join us for an insightful webinar with the Ad Council as they share their best practices on leveraging public education to help counties tackle three urgent challenges: the mental health crisis, workforce development, and gun violence prevention.

The Ad Council will highlight key messaging approaches, lessons learned from national campaigns and provide turn-key ways  to help counties elevate their efforts in these critical areas.

During the session, we’ll explore how counties can:

  • Support parents and youth in navigating the growing mental health crisis
  • Collaborate with employers to advance skills-first hiring practices
  • Foster constructive, nonpartisan conversations around gun violence prevention

Don't miss this opportunity to gain practical resources and insights to strengthen your county's public engagement initiatives!
