A Proclamation on National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month, 2024

By Nirja Shah

America’s young people are the future of our Nation. Each of them deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. This National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month, we recommit to providing all youth with the resources and support they need to lead healthy lives and achieve their dreams.

Addressing the opioid and overdose epidemic is a key priority of my Unity Agenda. Preventing substance use before it starts is a crucial part of a comprehensive approach to addressing the overdose crisis.
