National Prevention Week
“Your Voice, Your Choice, Make a Difference” is this year’s theme for SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) National Prevention Week, which takes place May 12-18. The week long observance provides an opportunity to join with other individuals, organizations and coalitions in the community to promote and support prevention efforts and create and strengthen community partnerships.

Six of the seven days during National Prevention Week 2013 have a suggested theme that will be used to guide the focus of community events across the country:
• Sunday, May 12 – Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco Use (New for 2013!)
• Monday, May 13 – Prevention of Underage Drinking
• Tuesday, May 14 – Prevention of Prescription Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Use
• Wednesday, May 15 – Prevention of Alcohol Abuse
• Thursday, May 16 – Suicide Prevention
• Friday, May 17 – Promotion of Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Well-Being
