National Prevention Week Toolkit
To encourage and support Prevention Week efforts across the state, we have provided a National Prevention Week tool kit, which includes social media, newspaper ads, newsletter, and a sample press release. The purpose of the toolkit is to help increase awareness and community action around substance use prevention and mental health promotion efforts in the state and encourage engagement from prevention stakeholders and community members by providing easy to use resources.

It is for everyone! The National Prevention Week Toolkit was designed to provide easy to use resources and materials for increasing awareness and community action around substance use prevention and mental health promotion in North Dakota. We hope you will find these useful as you engage your community in National Prevention Week awareness efforts.
