Did you know that October is Substance Use Prevention Month? Throughout the year and this month specifically, we can come together and showcase prevention efforts and their positive effects on your community as well as communities across the country.

SAMHSA provides many resources to help inspire action, strengthen conversations, and feature prevention science behind substance use prevention. Please visit their website to learn about their offerings and how you can incorporate the available toolkit into your own work and practice.

Are you looking for ways to support parents/caregivers, children/youth, colleagues, friends, and family members who experience difficult emotions during the holiday season? While the holiday season can be filled with joy and celebrations, it can also trigger difficult emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. SAMHSA offers a toolkit that you can use to make sure all individuals know that confidential support is available 24/7 for both mental health and substance use.
