NATIONAL ADDICTIONS AWARENESS WEEK 2020

National Addictions Awareness Week is from November 22 to 28, 2020.

Change Begins with Me is the theme for this year’s National Addictions Awareness Week. We want to present Akwesasne with ways they can reassess the way they think about substance use disorders and people who use drugs.

We want Akwesasne to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, so this year, social media will be our main platform to promote National Addictions Awareness Week 2020!

Spread the message and get involved:

During each day of National Addictions Awareness Week, the Wholistic Health and Wellness Program will share the facts on a different substance or issue regarding substance use and addiction. Sharing the facts will help to drive home information every community member should know about substance use. Share these facts and resources and begin a conversation about them within your own home.

Daily trivia questions regarding addiction and substance use disorders will be posted on the MCA Wholistic Health & Wellness Program Facebook page. The more you participate, the more chances you have to win!

ALL names will be collected from the comment submissions throughout the week and tallied together for a chance to win a “Black Ash Wellness Pack Basket Care Kit”.

Let’s work together to promote prevention, support recovery, and end the stigma associated with addiction and recovery!
