### Supporting SAMHSA’s National Prevention Week through Social Media

Substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion make a difference! To build excitement about and engagement in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) National Prevention Week in May, we are starting an online dialogue through social media using the hashtags #NationalPreventionWeek24 and #MyPreventionStory.

In addition to the below sample social media messages you can use through your social channels, SAMHSA is encouraging people to share their experiences through #MyPreventionStory. Through this effort, SAMHSA will engage individuals to explain the importance of substance misuse prevention from their perspective and use this hashtag on social media. #MyPreventionStory will showcase the stories and initiatives that bring together and celebrate our prevention community.
