August 2024

National Recovery Month is an annual observance held every September to promote awareness of the power of recovery from mental health and substance use conditions. SAMHSA’s Recovery Month Toolkit Celebrates National Recovery Month with SAMHSA’s official toolkit. The toolkit contains key messaging and weekly themes, social media shareables, stickers, virtual backgrounds, email signatures, and hashtag guidance.

Overdose Awareness Week is August 25-August 31. During Overdose Awareness Week, we come together to raise awareness of substance use disorders, so that our Nation can combat stigmatization, promote treatment, celebrate recovery, and strengthen our collective efforts to prevent overdose deaths. Below please find the SAMHSA’s official Overdose Awareness Week Toolkit, that contains key messaging and weekly themes, social media shareables, stickers, virtual backgrounds, email signatures, and hashtag guidance.
