Alcohol Awareness Toolkit

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:

  • Raise awareness about alcohol-related harms and the importance of strong alcohol policies using memes, and
  • Encourage engagement from prevention and public health stakeholders to strategically educate and inform decision makers about effective alcohol policies by providing easy-to-personalize, templated opinion editorials, letters to legislators and proclamations.

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.


Who Should Use the Toolkit?

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.

How to Access the Tools

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.

Some of these memes require Canva Premium to use, Canva offers premium features for free to eligible nonprofits through their Canva for Nonprofits program, learn more here. Canva also offers a free trial of their premium features for new users. If you have any questions please contact [email protected].

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.
