2023 Highlights
National Prevention Week took place from May 7-13, 2023. This year, we launched the new National Prevention Week brand and created a new year-long approach (PDF | 191 KB), including a new approach to how we better engage community organizations!
Thank you to everyone who took the time to join us during National Prevention Week 2023 to celebrate the possibilities and brighter futures that exist thanks to the ongoing work of prevention happening across the country! We are stronger when we work together and are always looking for opportunities to partner with those on the frontlines of prevention to elevate future efforts.
In case you missed any of the National Prevention Week events or activities, you can access the library of on-demand videos and prevention activities at any point throughout the year!
