Communities Talk About: New Communities Talk Cycle in 2023

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is sponsoring stipends for the next round of Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse, an initiative that focuses on alcohol and other drug misuse that negatively affects communities and our youth. Since 2006, the initiative has provided prevention resources and stipends to thousands of community-based organizations, colleges, and universities. Starting in 2023, stipends will be available every year!

As part of its “Communities Talk About” virtual learning series, on December 15, 2022, at 1 p.m. EST, SAMHSA will host “Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse to Enhance Prevention Launching New Cycle in 2023”, where participants will learn about the new Communities Talk program, prevention resources, and activities to reach audiences at a deeper level, and how they can participate and host their own Communities Talk activities and ask any questions they may have.

Communities Talk activities:

• Educate communities about the consequences of alcohol and other drug misuses.
• Empower communities to use evidence-based approaches to reduce alcohol and other drug misuses.
• Mobilize communities around substance use prevention initiatives at the local, state, and national levels.
