Since 2018, the PTTC Network has supported professionals working in substance use prevention through training and technical assistance. In 2023 alone, over 300 training and technical assistances were created and over 350 events held. Below is a snap shot of our 2023 in review. See the full report at PTTCnetwork.org.

SAMHSA is conducting this challenge under the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (COMPETES) Reauthorization Act of 2010.

SAMHSA is seeking proposals from youth between ages 14-18 to submit a community strategy to increase youth awareness, education, and prevention around fentanyl.

The holidays and winter months can be filled with family and fun; but they can also be stressful with busy schedules and holiday pressures. The winter months can also mean less sunshine and cold weather making many feel lethargic and isolated. 

Take care of yourself, coworkers, family, and friends this year with these resources on staying active, social, and mentally well during the coming months.

Communities Talk, a SAMHSA sponsored initiative started in 2006, provides stipends for local communities, organizations, and leaders to prevent alcohol and other drug misuse.

Join SAMHSA on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 from 2-3 p.m. ET to learn more about this program and how you can use it in your community.
