In 2011, the iChoose initiative was created to serve 18-25 year olds in Allen, Auglaize, & Hardin counties. Designed to promote a strong anti prescription drug abuse message using social media and internet technologies with the goal of reaching a broad spectrum of people within the local communities. In the coming months iChoose will be rolling out various internet and social media presentations to promote the campaign message of choosing a clean and healthy lifestyle. By incorporating the use of social media outlets into the program, more young adults will be able to stay connected to iChoose through personal computers and cell phones.

iChoose is a local initiative founded by Partnership for Violence Free Families and the Mental Health & Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize and Hardin Counties. The iChoose program will be working with area colleges, businesses, and community organizations to promote the message that you are in control of your own actions. Be yourself, be clean, be proud to say iChoose!

The iChoose team consists of Chelsea Verhoff, iChoose program coordinator, and Laura Ulrick, social media technical specialist.
