Call Me ASAP: Youth Voices from Mayfield–Graves Co ASAP

Podcast Episode Summary – Mayfield–Graves County ASAP Youth Council In this episode, members of the Mayfield–Graves County ASAP Youth Council introduce themselves and share why youth voice matters in substance use prevention and mental health advocacy. Students from Mayfield High School and Graves County High School explain their roles on the Youth Council, including officers and school representatives. They discuss Adultish, a monthly life-skills program that teaches practical “adult” skills such as cooking, laundry, budgeting, FAFSA help, physical health, and social media awareness. The group highlights current and upcoming campaigns, including Lexi Cox’s “Sad to Glad” campaign, which focuses on raising awareness about seasonal depression through events like: Hot cocoa & open conversations (January) “Sip Away the Sadness” (February) A paint night focused on coping through art (March) Beat the Blues Bash to celebrate the end of seasonal affective disorder (April) They also talk about the “You Are Loved” campaign, a February initiative tied to Valentine’s Day that spreads encouragement through merch and small giveaways to remind people they are seen, valued, and supported—especially during a season that can feel lonely. Council members explain what ASAP (Agency for Substance Abuse Policy and Prevention) is and why prevention work matters, emphasizing the importance of having youth at the table since substance use often begins during teenage years. They reflect on favorite experiences such as: Friday Night Done Right (substance-free alternatives after football games) The Officer Retreat Kindness Campaigns Trips to the Kentucky Capitol for advocacy CADCA and other leadership opportunities Members also share their personal “why” for being involved, including family experiences with tobacco and substance use, seeing friends struggle, and wanting to build a healthier community. They discuss natural highs—healthy activities that bring joy, such as music, reading, walking, faith, spending time with friends, and creative outlets. The episode closes with encouragement for students to get involved, support one another, and stay connected—ending with the Youth Council’s message: “Call me ASAP.” Listeners are invited to follow the Youth Council on social media and subscribe for future episodes.
