Poster Contest

According to the 2022 United States National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH):

• 46.8 million (16.7%) Americans (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in the past year.
• 10.5% of Americans 12 and older had an alcohol use disorder in the past year.
• About 27.2 million Americans 12 or older (9.7%) reported battling a drug use disorder in the past year.
• That same year, 8 million (2.9%) of Americans 12 and older struggled with both alcohol and drug use disorders simultaneously.
• 21.5 million American adults (8.4%) suffered from both a mental health disorder and a substanceuse disorder, or co-occurring disorders in the past year.¹

No wonder parents and teachers work so diligently to help young people understand the dangers and consequences of substance abuse.

The Drug Awareness Council partners with schools and other organizations to create awareness and provide educational opportunities within our Lions District 2-E2.

Many of the schools that participate in our Red Ribbon Week grant program have included the DAC poster contest in their programs.

However, the Poster Contest is open to any who would like to participate. Contact us, and we will be happy to get in touch with a Lions Club to sponsor your submissions to this year’s Drug Awareness Council Poster Contest.
