HC DrugFree Attends SAMHSA’s Prevention Day and CADCA Forum

HC DrugFree’s Executive Director, Joan Webb Scornaienchi, once again attended SAMHSA’s annual Prevention Day and the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) Forum at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. 


Each year, SAMHSA’s Prevention Day brings together over 4,000 prevention practitioners, advocates, scientists, leaders (community, state, tribal, federal), and consumers at the largest federal gathering dedicated to advancing the prevention of substance use. The event explores current, emerging, and innovative strategies, policies, programs, practices, and research. The 2025 theme, “Telling the Prevention Story,” underscores sharing the successes of prevention and inspiring action. 


The annual CADCA Forum is the premier training event for community leaders, coalition members, and advocates committed to the Prevention field. CADCA equips coalitions with the tools, knowledge, and support necessary to create positive change in their communities. With over 4,000 attendees from across the globe, attendees gain insights, learn best practices, and network with like-minded professionals. Featuring over 100 workshops, plenary sessions with renowned speakers, and countless opportunities for professional development, the 2025 CADCA Forum is a chance to gain the resources needed to drive positive change. Together, we can turn knowledge into action and create lasting change. 

HC DrugFree’s Executive Director,
Joan Webb Scornaienchi
