National Prevention Week

We recognize that the important work of prevention happens every day. We created National Prevention Week to celebrate these year-round initiatives and the possibilities prevention brings.

National Prevention Week is taking place from May 7–13, 2023! Join us as we showcase the work of our partners in prevention and celebrate stories of prevention. This year, we will feature a relaunch event from Talk. They Hear You. and a success stories webinar from Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse! In addition, you will be able to access a number of on-demand resources, visually dynamic promotional materials, and a series of digital interactive prevention activities.

You can get involved leading up to National Prevention Week and beyond by sharing your #MyPreventionStory on social media, downloading our planning toolkit, promoting National Prevention Week, and telling us about your own prevention event.
