The Commonwealth Prevention Allaince believes that every action, big or small, contributes to the larger goal of prevention in our communities. National Prevention Week is a time to highlight the power of change that resides within each of us, in every place we find ourselves — from our faith communities to our workplaces, and within our own families. This year, we’re tapping into our theme: Prevention Happens Here.
We invite you to take part in this empowering initiative by using our Social Media Content Calendar. Each week focuses on a unique aspect of prevention, offering you the opportunity to share relevant, impactful content consistently throughout the month.
