During Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month, we will share our prevention-focused PSAs from the past few years.

The first PSA is Limit Access, which aims to prevent youth substance use by reducing access to substances. Keeping alcohol, ma*****na, vapes, and prescription medications out of reach can significantly help prevent substance use.

Limit access, prevention starts with you!

Visit www.NBResponsible.com for information about youth substance use.

We are kicking off Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month!

Prevention is vital for enhancing lives in our community:

👉 Our objective is to prevent substance use initially, inhibit progression to a disorder, and mitigate related consequences. We have the prevention playbook for this.

👉 Prevention science, backed by decades of research and community experience, demonstrates effectiveness.

👉 It reinforces protective factors while diminishing risk factors—impacting individuals, families, schools, communities, and society.

👉 Through prevention, we can proactively address substance use and mental health issues, enabling youth, families, and communities to thrive.

Throughout the month of October, we will be providing prevention messaging, resources, and stories!

As we close out Recovery Month, we'd like to highlight our Good Samaritan Campaign that is coming to an end.

Today, we filmed a CT Live episode to discuss the Good Samaritan Law in Connecticut and the protection it offers in the event of an overdose.

Thank you to NBC for giving us a platform to talk about these important issues. Together, we’re promoting awareness and support for those in need!
