Building Supportive Communities
It takes a whole community to support change, to reduce stigma and support better care for people with alcohol use disorder. We hope you will join us to spread the word.
We offer differing levels of engagement that aim to empower community members to:
spread the word about understanding alcohol use disorder as a treatable health condition
support more people to feel comfortable accessing care options
shift community drinking culture
