#MyPreventionStory

#MyPreventionStory is a way for us to acknowledge our experiences with substance use and misuse prevention and mental health.

During National Prevention Week, we encourage individuals and organizations to create and share a prevention story on social media—whether it’s telling how you’re helping to prevent substance use and misuse, or sharing the ways you’re promoting mental health. Be a part of the national conversation that celebrates prevention by using the hashtag #MyPreventionStory!
