National Drug & Alcohol Facts Week is a national health observance designed to equip schools and communities with the materials and tools they need to educate young people about the effects of drugs on their brain, body and behavior. Now in its 10th year, NDAFW will be held from March 30-April 5, 2020.
All around the country, guidance counselors, teachers, school resource officers, social workers, drug prevention programs, colleges, health care providers, and community support programs are using the science-based information available FREE from NIDA— an institute within the National Institutes of Health. NIDA supports most of the world’s research on the health aspects of drug use and addiction and NDAFW is a time to hold educational events designed to equip young people to make informed choices about drugs and alcohol.
This year, National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week is expecting more than 2000 events to be held around the country and world. These events range in size and scope, but they focus on educating young people about drug and alcohol use and their consequences. Event participants range from kindergarteners to college students.
It’s Not Too Late to Register for the 10th Anniversary of National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW)
