While Substance Use Prevention Month is now nationally recognized in August, October was historically recognized as Substance Use Prevention Month, and we believe prevention is important all year long.
Throughout October, we’ll be sharing ways we can strengthen prevention through culture, connection, healthy coping, supportive relationships, and community. We’re also inviting all communities across the Bering Strait Region to participate in our Substance Use Prevention Bingo! The bingo card includes activities and learning opportunities that encourage prevention, wellness, and cultural connection.
Learn more and download the 2-page Substance Use Prevention BINGO Card.
Complete 5 activities in a row (across, down, or diagonal) and submit your card to [email protected] by November 6, 2026 to be entered to win prizes including binoculars, winter gloves, kids’ sleds, and more!
Complete the entire card (blackout) to earn an extra raffle entry!
Prevention doesn’t belong to just one month. Let’s keep building healthier, stronger communities year round!
