National Prevention Week (NPW) is a public education platform that promotes prevention year-round through providing ideas, capacity building, tools, and resources to help individuals and communities make substance use prevention happen every day.NPW culminates in May recognizing the important work that has been done in communities throughout the year to inspire action and prevent substance use and mental disorders. SAMHSA’s next NPW is May 10 through 16, 2020. Each year around this observance, communities and organizations across the country come together to raise awareness about the importance of substance use prevention and positive mental health. SAMHSA is currently developing the NPW 2020 materials. Check back in February for new NPW 2020 resources, the Prevention Challenge, the Planning Toolkit, and promotional materials. Until then, sign up for the Prevention Works email newsletter to get resources, news, and ideas to make prevention happen every day. Enter your email address in the “Stay Connected” box to the right.
