The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA) launched National Wellness Week[1] as a part of National Recovery Month[2]. During this week, SAMSHA encourages everyone to increase healthy behaviors. Events highlighted during this week support one of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness[3] and involve exploring talents, skills, relationships, and environments to promote wellness. Substance abuse and mental health concerns are commonly associated with sexual violence. Healthy and well communities and practices may help to reduce risk factors for violence.
