# PreventionPower Challenge
To spark interest in NPW 2017, SAMHSA launched the # PreventionPower social media challenge as a way for individuals, organizations, and communities to start discussing prevention and highlight how they get involved in prevention activities. Participants in the challenge could then motivate others to take part in the # PreventionPower challenge as well.
The efforts paid off:
• Four monthly challenges, with nearly 300 participants total, resulted in more than 6.4 million potential impressions across social media.

• During NPW 2017, # PreventionPower challenge participants were asked to go LIVE on social media— and our audiences, partners, and influencers responded! During this week alone, the # Prevention Power challenge had 5 million potential social media impressions.
• Influencers that participated during the week included Howie Mandel, NBC4’ s Angie Goff, and The Trevor Project.
• To share our audience’ s participation in this challenge, we created a # PreventionPower“ story” on SAMHSA’ s Storify account and curated the best, most engaging content, which we can update on a regular basis.
We’ ll keep the # PreventionPower social media challenges going through the fall so we can continue to promote NPW 2017 activities and successes.
