COVID-19 Teen Conversations

This is a series created in partnership with Native teens that explores topics on how COVID-19 impacts teen life.

We worked with a handful of Native teens to develop six informational and authentic conversations around COVID-19 topics such as mental health, prevention, social distancing, etc. to help health care providers engage with teens.

This toolkit includes screenshots of conversations in commonly used platforms including iMessage, Instagram, and Snapchat that are meant to be shared on social media as a way to better relate to teens around the COVID-19 conversation.

There are six topics—learning opportunities, mental health, misinformation, peer pressure, prevention, and social distancing—that encompass what teens may be feeling during this difficult time. Each topic has graphics to be shared in Instagram stories to help engage teens in the conversation.

We recommend posing a question to your followers to create engagement. For ideas and assistance, contact us!

Download the screenshots and share on your social media platforms to help ensure teens are engaged in the conversations.
