Youth Substance Use Prevention Month

October is Youth Substance Use Prevention Month. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Youth Substance Use Prevention Month page links to the proclamation from the White House, strategic prevention framework, "Talk. They Hear You" resources, and more. SAMHA's Substance Use Prevention Resources for Youth and College Students page also has resources for middle school, high school, and college age students.
Halloween Safety

Unbelievably, it is that time of year again when ghouls and goblins go trick or treating and attend Halloween parties. Whether students are K-12 or attending institutions of higher education, it is important to practice Halloween safety. Below are resources to help ensure a safe holiday for everyone. Happy Hauntings!
