This September, we observe FASD Awareness Month! It’s a dedicated time to build deep understanding, champion inclusion, and surround individuals and families with supportive care at every stage of life. We all have a role to play in building a world where everyone feels valued and welcomed. You can help raise awareness in your community, too. The FASD Prevention Hub offers free, ready-to-share tools to help raise awareness about preventing prenatal alcohol exposure and recognizing potential indicators of FASD, plus a resource directory to help connect people with additional information and support.

🔗 Explore the FASD Prevention Hub: https://fasdpreventionhub.org

Use the tools in your organization, share them with the people you serve, or incorporate them into your own awareness efforts. Let's unite our communities to create environments where everyone can thrive.

🎉 Please join Prevention Action Alliance in celebrating Lori Higgins on an incredible career and more than 40 years of leadership in prevention! From helping shape Ohio’s prevention field and professional community to advancing innovative prevention efforts in Butler County and across the state, Lori’s impact has been far-reaching. Her leadership, advocacy, and commitment to prevention have helped strengthen the field we know today. As Lori prepares to step down as CEO of Envision Partnerships, we congratulate her on an extraordinary tenure and thank her for the many ways she has advanced prevention throughout Ohio. We wish her all the best in this next chapter! We’re also excited to congratulate Kristina Latta-Landefeld, who will become CEO of Envision Partnerships on October 1st. PAA looks forward to continuing to work with Kristina and seeing all that’s ahead for Envision Partnerships under her leadership. Congratulations, Lori and Kristina! 💙

Helping young people feel connected to school can support their well-being. Talk about the friends, classes, activities, and goals they’re looking forward to—and make space for any worries they may have. Listen without judgment, offer support, and remind them that their feelings matter. 💬 Ask: “Is there anything I can do to help you achieve your goals this year?” Learn more: https://preventionactionalliance.org/resources/know-how-to-prepare-kids-for-back-to-school/

As communities across the country continue to remember Dolly Parton, we’ve been reflecting on the incredible legacy she leaves behind.

Dolly gave the world unforgettable music, but she also gave so much of herself. Her generosity, her commitment to children and families, and her belief in creating opportunities for others influenced countless lives and communities.

That spirit reflects something at the heart of prevention: when we invest in people early, strengthen connections, create opportunities, and help people thrive, the impact can reach generations.

We are saddened by the loss of someone who brought so much joy and good into the world, but we hope Dolly’s spirit lives on in our communities. In the people who show up for one another. In the opportunities we create for the next generation. And in the belief that each of us can leave our corner of the world a little better than we found it.
Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the joy, and the example you set. 💛

Transitioning from summer flexibility to a consistent school schedule is key to a successful year. Aim to allocate 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep and try to keep weekend wake times within two hours of weekday times to keep their bodies in sync. As the school year brings busier schedules, help them find time to relax by logging off electronics at least 30 minutes before bed. A calm pre-bed routine—like listening to music or reading—creates the peaceful transition needed for restorative rest. ⏰🧘‍♂️ For more strategies, download the entire Know!

As we gear up for school starting, it’s time to rethink your child’s sleep environment. A sleep-friendly space should be cool, quiet, and dark—consider using fans or room-darkening curtains to help them wind down. Remind your student to reserve their bed for sleeping only, keeping homework and screens in other areas of the home. Also, keep an eye on afternoon caffeine; sodas and energy drinks block the “sleepy” chemicals the brain needs to feel refreshed for school the next morning. 🚫☕ Read the full guide and get the entire Know!
