Press Release

National Addictions Awareness Week

National Addictions Awareness Week is a Health Promotion Week dedicated to the prevention, education, and awareness surrounding addictions. This year’s theme is “Driving Change Together” (#DrivingChangeTogether), which emphasizes that we are not in this alone, and it takes all of us to create change!

Social Media Themed Content

In the spirit of this, we would like to recognize National Addictions Awareness Week and raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show our support to all of those affected by addictions. We will share themed content on our social media channels all week – so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to see the posts and share them!
