Mark your calendars! The first National Wellness Week will be held as part of SAMHSA’s Recovery Month from September 19‒25, 2011. The inaugural theme is: Living Wellness.
People with mental health and substance use disorders die decades earlier than the general population, mostly due to preventable medical conditions. That is why SAMHSA – in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Women’s Health – have created the 10x10 Wellness Campaign to promote wellness and increase life expectancies for people with mental health and substance use problems by 10 years in 10 years.
