Advocating for Prevention
Prevention Week in PA occurs in tandem with National Prevention Week, hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This annual public education platform brings together communities and organizations to raise awareness about the importance of substance use prevention and positive mental health.
“PA Prevention Week aims to promote prevention year-round,” says Jeff Hanley, CPA Executive Director. “Prevention happens in all of our communities, and we ask prevention professionals, organizations, and coalitions to use this week to advocate for their programming, recognize local prevention partners and champions, and use social media to highlight their prevention successes.”
