really hard to choose just two. One of the campaigns that I thought was most effective was Student Intervention Reintegration Program(SIRP). This campaign targets the youth and focuses on educating them about the experimentation and usage of various drugs and alcohol. I thought this campaign was effective because it is very visually appealing and is very easy to navigate through.
