2021 Prevention Week Toolkit

Welcome!

How to Access the Tools

We've expanded our 2021 Prevention Week toolkit by adding everything to this new page. Now with custom Alcohol Awareness Month memes and all the favorite items from last year as well. Start by deploying the Alcohol Awareness Toolkit memes to enhance your social media presence.

Alcohol Awareness Month

In addition to the memes, here are op-eds and a letter to legislators for your alcohol awareness month action plans. You can use as-is or edit to promote your community prevention efforts.

A template letter or email to your legislator is HERE.
A template op-ed connecting to dots between opioid use and excessive alcohol use in college students is HERE.
A template op-ed with a medical professional (ER doctor or nurse) on alcohol and ER admissions is HERE.

CPA Testimony - RTD Beverages

HERE is a 2-minute video about the upcoming legislative hearing, at the PA Capitol. CPA submitted written testimony in opposition to the expansion of outlets to sell Ready to Drink beverages (these are the canned cocktails currently sold in the PLCB state stores).

Please consider using one of the following templates to provide education and awareness, to your local decision-makers, about the public health harms associated with the expansion of outlets to sell Ready to Drink (RTD) beverages.

• HERE is CPA's Op-Ed regarding RTD Beverages.  You can submit as is, or add your logo and name, or edit the document (if you edit, remove the CPA logo and name at end of the document and add your own information). 
• HERE is the written testimony submitted by CPA in opposition to the expansion of outlets to sell Ready to Drink (RTD) Beverages.
