We appreciate the collaborative relationships with Alaska’s health care providers, public health department and community partners.

National Poison Prevention Week 2025

Every third week of March we celebrate and observe National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) – a week dedicated to raising awareness about poison control centers and the Poison Help® Hotline (1-800-222-1222). Established by Congress in 1961, NPPW aims to raise awareness about poison prevention for people of all ages across the U.S. This year’s national theme is, “When the unexpected happens, we’re here for you.” Join us in educating the public about the life-saving services provided by poison control centers during this year’s celebration, March 16-22.
The NPPW 2025 Partner Toolkit includes daily themed guidance, social media content and graphics in both English and Spanish we’ve prepared for your use. These can also be found on the America’s Poison Centers NPPW 2025 webpage in high-res format for download. You may find them useful to add to newsletters, post on websites, and other online platforms. Feel free to share these materials with your networks, PIOs, social media managers, clients, and families and help us spread the word!
