National Impaired Driving Prevention Month
2024-12-01 - 2024-12-31 | GA
Holidays, when most are looking forward to gathering with family and friends in celebrations, can be some of the most dangerous times on the roads. The week between Christmas and New Year’s holidays, when many celebrations are added to the calendar, are among the most unsafe days. Impaired driving can be deadly. December is recognized as National Impaired Driving Prevention Month.
Impairment begins with the first drink. While many campaigns focus on alcohol impairment, other substances can impair driving also, including opioids, marijuana, or even prescription drugs. These substances may cause drowsiness, alter visual functions, and affect mental judgement and motor skills. Additionally, fatigue and stress can impair your ability to drive. This month, as you gather this holiday season, educate yourself and others on the risks of impaired driving and take steps to stay safe. Before taking your first drink, have a plan that includes a designated driver, ride share options or an overnight stay at a friend or family member’s home. Each of us has the power to prevent a tragedy and ensure that we all have a safe holiday season.

Great American Smokeout
2024-11-21 | GA
Cigarette smoking remains the most preventable cause of serious illness and death. Quitting smoking isn’t easy. It takes time and a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one day. Start your journey to stop smoking with day one. The Great American Smokeout, an event celebrated the third Thursday annually, can be your day to start your journey. Hosted by the American Cancer Society, the Great American Smokeout is an opportunity to commit to a healthy, smoke-free life year round. On November 21st, join thousands of people who smoke in taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing your cancer risk. The American Cancer Society can help you access the resources and support you need to quit and remain smoke-free.

World Kindness Day
2024-11-13 | GA
World Kindness Day, celebrated each November 13th, is an opportunity to promote kindness, empathy, and goodwill around the world. World Kindness Day and substance use prevention share a powerful connection through their emphasis on compassion, support, and building a stronger, healthier community. Small acts of kindness, like checking in on someone or providing emotional support, can be life-changing for people. By fostering a culture of kindness, we can create a community where individuals feel valued, understood, and less isolated – factors that are vital in daily existence, preventing substance misuse and encouraging recovery. On this World Kindness Day, reflect on the importance of kindness, go beyond your routine and make a positive difference in others’ lives, and connect with others across race, religion, gender, etc. Make Kindness the Norm!
