National Addictions Awareness Week (November 15-21, 2026)

National Addictions Awareness Week (November 15-21, 2026) is an opportunity to raise awareness about substance use and addiction, reduce stigma and encourage open, supportive conversations.

Schools play an important role in promoting student well-being by helping young people build healthy coping skills, make informed choices and access support when they need it.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out to a trusted adult, school counsellor or support professional is an important first step. No one has to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can help create safe, caring school communities where everyone feels supported and understood.
