National Prevention Week is held every year the third week in May. Why May you might be asking; SAMHSA’s National survey on Drug Use and Health shows that most adolescents and full time college students most often use substances for the first time during June and July. May was chosen to raise awareness about this important issues. Each day we will highlight a different subject in our posts for the day. Please check back each day and pass the important information on to someone else.
