💚 Prevention works—and every prevention story matters.
During Substance Use Primary Prevention Month, New Choices Recovery Center is proud to recognize the families, schools, youth, professionals, and community partners working every day to build healthier, stronger communities.

Prevention is more than sharing information. It means strengthening protective factors, building resilience, supporting healthy choices, creating meaningful connections, and addressing risks before substance use begins.

This year, we’re joining the call to Tell the Prevention Story—because prevention happens in classrooms, homes, neighborhoods, organizations, and everyday conversations. SAMHSA
Together, we can create environments where young people and families have the support and resources they need to thrive.

💚 Prevention starts early. Prevention takes all of us. Prevention makes a difference.

🟣 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 🟣
This year’s theme, With Survivors, Always, reminds us that awareness matters—but survivors deserve more than awareness. They deserve safety, support, solidarity, and action.

💜 We honor survivors.
💜 We remember those we’ve lost.
💜 We believe and support those who speak out.
💜 We continue working toward communities where everyone can live safely and with dignity.

Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse. This October—and throughout the year—we stand with survivors, always.

If you or someone you know needs support, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or visit TheHotline.org. The Hotline
