There are many ways to get involved in National Prevention Week, now and throughout the year.

When you participate in National Prevention Week, you join the nationwide effort to prevent substance misuse and promote mental health. Show others that prevention works, all while supporting the health and well-being of your community. No matter how you choose to participate, what matters most is that you DO participate!

Organizations and individuals can participate in National Prevention Week in a few different ways. See below for some ideas about how to get involved.

  • Host a Community Event
    During National Prevention Week and year-round, thousands of organizations and individuals across the country host health fairs, block parties, educational assemblies, town hall meetings, memorial walks, social media campaigns, outdoor events, and more. These community events help raise awareness about the importance of preventing substance misuse and promoting mental health in a fun and engaging way.
