Be the Best Version of You
Say yes to your healthiest and strongest self and share your reason “why”.
Reach Your Fullest Potential.
Supporting a vibrant and healthy community, Delaware launched the #MyReasonWhyDE campaign focused on awareness and substance use prevention. Finding out and recognizing what drives you, making informed decisions and having access to resources to help you achieve your best version of you is the key to success.
We invite you to aspire to achieve greatness and own every moment by intentionally pursuing a purposeful, present, goal-oriented lifestyle — without substances.
When you discover your reason “why,” you unlock your motivation for becoming your best self. Say yes to being the best version of you and share your reason “why” with #MyReasonWhyDE.
Delaware’s campaign focuses on awareness and substance use prevention through community empowerment.
Campaign Partnerships
The #MyReasonWhyDE Campaign began as a grassroots effort in 2022. As a youth-led initiative and in partnership with The C.A.U.S.E., Delaware youth produce and share short PSA-style videos to promote positive aspects of their lives that keep them happy, healthy, substance-free and engaged citizens.
Since the initial launch, #MyReasonWhyDE has expanded from a youth-focused initiative to a peer-to-peer prevention messaging strategy that can be used by individuals of all ages to promote health and wellness across communities in Delaware.
The Delaware Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health also teams up to facilitate workshops throughout the state, creating PSA videos that promote resiliency and well-being to help prevent substance use. The goal of this effort is to empower and inspire individuals in Delaware, through peer-to-peer messaging, to explore their reasons “WHY” they make healthy lifestyle choices.
Hear the stories from our young people and community members about how they are becoming the best versions of themselves, and create your own.

As #MyReasonWhyDE continues to grow, we value partnerships with community groups and organizations to continue to share resources, information and support. Partnerships, like those with The C.A.U.S.E., continue to be vital in promoting resiliency and positive messaging within our communities and schools. We are always looking for additional partners to help grow this message and share tools for success.
