• Identify opportunities to consider prevention and health within National Prevention Council departments and encourage partners to do so voluntarily as appropriate.
• Increase tobacco free environments within National Prevention Council departments and encourage partners to do so voluntarily as appropriate.
• Increase access to healthy, affordable food within National Prevention Council departments and encourage partners to do so voluntarily as appropriate.
The strategy’s priorities include tobacco-free living; drug abuse and excessive alcohol use prevention; healthy eating; active living; injury- and violence-free living; reproductive and sexual health; and mental and emotional wellbeing.
