May’s #SubstanceFreeSaturday

It’s the last day of Prevention Week! Today’s focus is on Promotion of Mental Health and Wellness. It’s perfect to tie that into #SubstanceFreeSaturday. Mental and physical health go hand in hand.  To maintain overall wellness you  need rest, nourishing foods, exercise, sunshine and to limit substance use.

Monday is also Memorial Day! Holiday’s can be a fun time to celebrate with friends and family.  Don’t forget to remind yourself and your peers of the danger and illegality of underage drinking, and in particular, drinking and driving. Did you know that over 80% of Missouri students refuse to get in a car with someone who is drinking? Make good choices this weekend, and have fun!

National Prevention Week 2015

 

 May 17-23, 2015 is National Prevention Week.
NPW is a SAMHSA-supported annual health observance dedicated to increasing public awareness of, and action around, substance abuse and mental health issues.

Click here for sample social media messages to use on your own pages to increase awareness.

Check out SAMHSA’s video on this year’s theme, “The Voice of One, the Power of All.”
