National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month

October is Prevention Month, a time for the Partnership to support families' efforts to protect their teens' health and well-being and respond to the difficulties they may face. 

The Partnership is here to provide information and resources to help families develop skills and strategies needed to keep their teens safe, resilient and healthy.

Visit our NEW Marijuana Resource Center:

As marijuana becomes legalized and more accessible throughout the country, our team has created a marijuana information hub where you can find the following resources:

• Marijuana basics
• Preventing marijuana use
• Protecting and advocating for youth

Watch Adolescents, Cannabis & Mental Health:

The Partnership’s own subject matter experts were joined by experts from Child Mind Institute, Harvard Medical School and Mount Sinai to discuss teens and cannabis use. Listen to the panel discussion here to learn about the latest research in the field, how to recognize risk factors and actions parents can take to ensure health promotion.

Explore more of the Partnership's prevention resources:

• Watch a special episode of "Talk About It", our new video series where experts and people with lived experience will discuss issues and topics around substance use disorder, recovery and prevention.
• Visit our prevention webpage to view all of our prevention and early use resources and information.

Follow us on social media:

Throughout October, we will be posting more resources and updates related to National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month on our social media channels.
