National Prevention Week (NPW) Social Media Toolkit
2025 National Prevention Week Social Media Toolkit (May 11-17, 2025)
National Prevention Week (NPW) is an annual health observance that raises awareness about the importance of substance misuse prevention and positive mental health. Hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), this week focuses on involving communities in raising awareness of substance misuse and mental health issues, implementing prevention strategies, and showcasing the effectiveness of evidence-based prevention programs.
The Toolkit
This social media toolkit includes sample messages and images to support digital communication in response to youth substance use across New Hampshire. The Partnership encourages substance use prevention partners throughout the State to share these campaign materials, contributing to our community’s efforts to educate and support youth substance use prevention. Messages can be modified to suit your organization’s needs.

That’s why it’s important during #NationalPreventionWeek25 to highlight the need for safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. By building these spaces, LGBTQ+ kids and teens can feel seen and supported—and ultimately thrive.
