🔎 Ibogaine Research Is Advancing—But Approval Has Not Arrived

Ibogaine is moving into a more formal federal research conversation.

FDA is asking for public input on how early-phase ibogaine trials should be designed—including who should participate, how doses should be selected and what safeguards are needed to monitor potentially serious cardiac and neurological effects.

Researchers are exploring possible uses involving opioid-use disorder, PTSD and alcohol-use disorder. But an important distinction can easily get lost:

Being studied does not mean proven.
Promising does not mean safe.
And research authorization does not mean FDA approval.

As public interest grows, prevention professionals can help communities understand the difference between carefully monitored clinical research, unapproved treatment claims and unsupervised use. We can support legitimate research while still asking hard questions about safety, informed consent, marketing and how emerging information is communicated to people urgently seeking help.

FDA is accepting public comments through November 20, 2026.

What questions do you believe must be answered before access to ibogaine expands?

🚨 Momentum Monday: The Monday Without a Fake Emergency

Some Monday mornings feel like everyone else’s forgotten task has arrived wearing a flashing red light.

Before you let the next email, message or request take over your day, pause and ask:

⏰ Is there an actual deadline today?
🚑 Will something serious happen if this waits?
👥 Am I the only person who can handle it?
📋 What important work will I delay by responding now?
😰 Is this a real emergency—or someone else’s stress being handed to me?

Not everything that arrives urgently is important.
Not everything marked “ASAP” needs to happen immediately.
And someone else’s lack of planning does not automatically have to become your crisis.

Choose your real priorities before your inbox chooses them for you.

What deserves your attention today—and what can wait without the world ending? 😄

🌱 Sustainable Leader Sunday: The Leadership Lesson Adults Need to Unlearn

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being capable meant:

Knowing the answer.
Handling it ourselves.
Not needing help.
Keeping the uncertainty hidden.
Making sure no one else had to worry.

That may earn praise—but it can also create exhausted leaders and teams that never get the opportunity to grow.

The lesson we need to unlearn is this:

Strong leaders do not have to carry everything alone.

Sometimes leadership sounds like:

💬 “I don’t know yet.”
🤝 “Can you help me think this through?”
🪑 “Who else needs to be at the table?”
🧭 “What do you see that I might be missing?”
🌱 “How can we build the ability to do this together?”

Asking for help does not make you less capable. Sharing leadership does not make you less important. Allowing others to contribute is part of building something that can last without depending on one person.

What is one leadership lesson you are still working to unlearn?

🧠 Mental Health Does Not Belong at a Separate Table

Mental health. Substance use. Su***de prevention. School climate. Community safety. Youth engagement.

We may organize these issues into different meetings, grants and workgroups—but people experience them together.

A young person may be dealing with anxiety, va**ng to cope with stress, struggling to feel connected at school and unsure where to ask for help. A family should not have to understand the boundaries between our programs before receiving support.

We can build stronger connections by:

🤝 Sharing information and resources
🗣️ Coordinating messages and community conversations
🔗 Strengthening referral pathways
🪑 Including people with lived experience where decisions are made
🌱 Building strategies that address shared risk and protective factors

The theme for World Mental Health Day on October 10 is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.” That means moving beyond asking people to tell their stories and creating genuine opportunities for them to shape the solutions.
https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-mental-health-day/2026

Mental health is not someone else’s agenda item. It belongs in every conversation about healthier young people, families and communities.

Who needs to be invited to your table—and given a meaningful role once they arrive?

💰 Funding Friday: Fund the Space Between

We often fund the program, the event, the training or the materials—but what about everything required to make those things successful?

The calls before the meeting.
The follow-up afterward.
The relationship-building.
The partner coordination.
The community conversations.
The data review.
The communication.
The evaluation and adjustments.
The planning for what happens after the grant ends.

That is the space between—and it is where much of the real work of community change happens.

When that work is not included in the budget, someone still has to do it. Too often, it becomes unpaid time, an extra responsibility for already-busy staff or an important task that keeps getting pushed aside.

The next time you build a budget, do not fund only what people can easily see. Fund the coordination, relationships and capacity that hold the work together.

What “invisible” work should be included in more community grants?

🧰 Toolkit Thursday: Is Your Coalition Built to Last?

Strong coalitions need more than committed members and meaningful goals. They also need clear roles, sound decision-making processes and systems that continue working when leaders, funding or community priorities change.

Prevention Network’s Coalition Infrastructure Toolkit can help your team examine four important building blocks:

🔹 Vision and mission
🔹 Roles and leadership
🔹 Bylaws and structure
🔹 Policies and accountability

You do not have to tackle everything at once—or do it alone. Begin with the area creating the most confusion or limiting your progress, involve coalition members in the process and build from there.

Explore the toolkit:
https://files.constantcontact.com/af75f892601/39e81f10-6c5c-4961-8abe-787995e3ef92.pdf

Supporting guides, templates and checklists can be found in Prevention Network’s free Resource Library:
https://www.preventionnetwork.org/resource-library/

If your coalition could strengthen just one area this year, which would you choose?

🧠 Whoa, We’re Halfway There Wednesday: My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open

Current status:

💻 One tab playing music—but I cannot find it
📧 Four emails I meant to answer
📝 Two ideas I do not want to forget
📅 A meeting I am still mentally attending
🔄 One task I keep reopening without actually finishing

If your brain feels like an overloaded browser today, take five minutes to close a few tabs:

✅ Finish one small thing
📅 Schedule one thing
🗑️ Remove one thing
🤝 Ask for help with one thing
📝 Write the rest down so your brain does not have to keep holding it

You do not have to finish everything today. You just need enough mental space to decide what deserves your attention next.

How many tabs are open in your brain right now? Be honest. 😄

🔎 Trend Tuesday: The Drug List Keeps Changing

Have you heard names like cychlorphine, spirochlorphine, medetomidine or tianeptine and wondered where to begin?

DEA’s new Drugs of Abuse: 2026 Edition can help. It explains familiar substances while also addressing emerging synthetic opioids, drug adulterants, kratom, tianeptine, counterfeit pills, va**ng and other evolving concerns.

It is a helpful resource for turning unfamiliar terminology into more informed conversations. Just remember: a drug’s appearance in a national guide does not automatically mean it is present locally. Use the guide to build your knowledge, then look to local data and community partners to understand what is happening close to home.

📘 Explore the guide:
https://www.getsmartaboutdrugs.gov/sites/default/files/2026-10/Drugs-Abuse-2026.pdf

Share it with coalition members, educators, healthcare partners, law enforcement, parents, caregivers and anyone helping young people or communities understand emerging drug trends.

What emerging substance would you like to understand better?

🍎 Name the Teacher Who Changed How You Work

Some teachers gave us information. Others changed what we believed we could do.

Today is World Teachers’ Day, celebrated each year on October 5 to recognize teachers and the role they play in shaping our futures.

And it has me thinking about the word teacher a little more broadly.

Yes, there are the classroom teachers whose lessons we still remember years—or decades—later.

But throughout our careers, our teachers also show up as:
🎓 Professors who challenged our thinking
🤝 Mentors who saw something in us before we did
🎤 Trainers who gave us a skill we still use
👥 Colleagues who showed us a better way
🏘️ Community members who reminded us to listen first
💬 People with lived experience who taught us things no textbook ever could
❤️ And sometimes, the person who simply said, “I think you can do this.”

The best lessons don't always stay in the classroom.

They become the way we lead, listen, facilitate, communicate, collaborate, make decisions, and show up for other people.

So today's Momentum Monday isn't about adding something else to your to-do list.

It's about recognizing something you're already carrying forward.

Gratitude is good.
Gratitude shared is even better. 🍎💛
