08/19/2024

SAMHSA is accepting abstract submissions until September 4 (at 11:59 p.m. ET) for SAMHSA’s 21st Prevention Day. Through its call for abstracts, SAMHSA invites members of the substance use and misuse prevention field to tell their compelling prevention success stories, challenges, lessons learned, and insights at this national event on February 3, 2025.

The 2025 theme, “Telling the Prevention Story,” underscores sharing the successes of prevention and inspiring action. SAMHSA’s Prevention Day brings together more than 4,000 prevention practitioners, advocates, scientists, leaders (community, state, tribal, federal), and consumers at the largest federal gathering dedicated to advancing substance use and misuse prevention. The event explores current, emerging, and innovative strategies, policies, programs, practices, and research.
