National Prevention Week (NPW) in May is the perfect time to remind your community about substance misuse prevention and mental health before summer begins.
By hosting an event during NPW, you can help raise awareness about the importance of positive mental health and substance use prevention. SAMHSA is here to help. Access and download our Planning Toolkit for templates, tools, and support for participating. If you have questions about how, or when, to get involved, e-mail SAMHSA’s NPW coordinator David Wilson at david.wilson@samhsa.hhs.gov.
Don’t forget to register your event on the Community Events page to share your NPW activities.
