April is National Alcohol Awareness Month. To raise awareness about alcohol-related harms and the importance of alcohol policy safeguards, we have launched the Alcohol Awareness Toolkit: #ProofIsInTheNumbers.
The Alcohol Awareness Toolkit seeks to do the following during the month of April:
The Northwest PTTC is excited to bring these resources to communities in Region 10 and throughout the rest of the PTTC Network. We encourage our prevention partners to use the materials to raise awareness around the weekly themes to observe April as National Alcohol Awareness Month.
Week 1: Alcohol-Related Harms (March 30-April 5)
Week 2: Alcohol and Firearms (April 6-12)
Week 3: Alcohol and Cancer Risk (April 13-19)
Week 4: Alcohol and Other Drugs (April 20-26)
Week 5: Alcohol and Cancer Risk (April 27-May 3)
There is something for everyone in the toolkit. Whether you plan to post the memes for the weekly themes or want to engage partners in submitting an opinion editorial about the importance of strong alcohol policy safeguards, or both, the toolkit is here to help you. From local coalitions to state public health departments and prevention coordinators, these materials have been designed with you in mind.
Start by deploying the Alcohol Awareness Toolkit memes to enhance your social media presence. There are at least two for each weekly theme. You can access the memes through Canva, a free online platform where links to each meme template can be downloaded and customized with your own logo! You will be prompted to create a user account if you do not have one.
Complement your online social media messages with the engagement materials to raise awareness about alcohol-related harms, your efforts, and evidence-based alcohol policy safeguards. By using the templated materials, you will expand your reach beyond social media.
