Self-harm gets met with silence too often — and that has to change. This #SelfHarmAwarenessMonth, lean in to the young people in your programs and the conversations that feel difficult. Behind the behavior is real pain that deserves real support. #PreventionWorks

#Prevention today builds resilience tomorrow. Prevention must be funded as seriously as it is endorsed. #PreventionFirst #EvidenceBasedPolicy PAT is honored to be actively involved in these conversations this week at the UN Office on Drugs & Crime this week!

#Prevention that strengthens families, social skills, and community norms delays the onset of drug use and builds lifelong #resilience. PAT is here at UN Office on Drugs & Crime talking about the situation in #Tennessee. #PreventionFirst #EvidenceBasedPolicy #PublicHealthApproach

Addressing risks early reduces pressure on #treatment systems. Funding #prevention is cost-effective, humane, and strategic. #PreventionFirst #EvidenceBasedPolicy UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Science saves lives. #EvidenceBasedPolicy outperforms those driven by commercial interests, normalization, or ideology. #PreventionFirst! UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Today is the National #DayOfHope. #RecoveryIsPossible, #PreventionWorks, and no one has to face this alone. If your coalition is marking the day, share your photos with us. Show #Tennessee what hope looks like!

#DrugPolicy delivers better outcomes when guided by measurable impact, long-term population health, and credible evidence. #PreventionFirst #EvidenceBasedPolicy UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Global drug policy recognizes #prevention as foundational, but investment still lags behind need. Early action reduces pressure on #treatment systems later - and saves costs in the long run! #PreventionFirst UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Civil society connects with #youth, #families, and people in #recovery beyond the reach of formal institutions. #EvidenceBasedPolicy #PublicHealthApproach #PreventionFirst UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Community-led initiatives build trust that creates engagement, recovery capital, social connection and long-term outcomes. #EvidenceBasedPolicy #PreventionFirst UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Recent declines in #overdose deaths show that #prevention, #treatment access, #RecoverySupport and supply reduction work together. #PublicHealthApproach #EvidenceBasedPolicy #PreventionFirst UN Office on Drugs & Crime

March 8–14 is #SleepAwarenessWeek. Poor sleep and late-night screen time are linked to increased #stress, #anxiety, and #MentalHealth challenges in young people — a quieter but major risk factor in #prevention. Small habits matter. #PreventionWorks

Policies that enable #prevention reduce entry into high-risk use and support long-term health and stability across populations. #PublicHealthApproach #PreventionFirst UN Office on Drugs & Crime

Recent data from the U.S. show a decline in #overdose deaths following increased investment in #prevention, #treatment access, #RecoverySupport and supply reduction. This demonstrates that comprehensive strategies save lives! #PublicHealthApproach UN Office on Drugs & Crime
