Welcome to NAAW on-line!

N.A.A.W., or National Addictions Awareness Week, is a time to celebrate the joy of an addictions free lifestyle. It is a time to honour each other.

You can take part by organizing a community activity during National Addictions Awareness Week.

Hold a sober dance, honour outstanding community members or just have a fun feast. Join hands and form a circle - Keep the Circle Strong!!

The NAAW Ribbon was developed to raise awareness of addictions.
The different sizes of the ribbon represents the many forms of addictions.
The different colors symbolize that addictions do not discriminate and affect all races, genders and ages.
