We Are Addiction Prevention Coalition.
Find Help
Awareness
This is the first step to invoking change. By defining the need and facilitating conversations about substance use disorder, we can slowly make steps toward eliminating the stigma, thus freeing individuals to get help early.
Prevention
Education and empowerment is the second step to finding hope in this epidemic. Through resources, conversations, and events we hope to prevent substance use disorder and inspire people to live with hope, resilience, and purpose.
Connection
The final way APC provides value to the community is by connecting and providing resources for the community by reducing stigma, prevention efforts, and helping those seeking recovery.
