National Addictions Awareness Week

National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW) is November 16–22, 2025.

These resources will also help forge and strengthen connections among individuals, organizations, families and communities. By coming together, we can improve the lives of people who use substances in Canada.  We hope to have key resources posted to this page for use in early November 2025.
