Public Awareness

Community Engagement & Prevention Efforts

At Pathway Society, our focus is on wellness. So, while we provide complete recovery support, we are also invested in promoting prevention. There are a variety of ways that we connect with the community, and we invite you to:

  1. Join our Voices United Keeping Youth Safe Coalition. The coalition works to promote public awareness and support effective policies limiting access to drugs and alcohol for our youth. Contact us for more information about the Coalition.
  2. Contact us to see whether we are a good partner for your organization. We work with schools, parent-teacher organizations, businesses, community organizations, and wellness events to create awareness of the issues surrounding addiction and what you can do to prevent it. We can provide speakers for your organization, event, school, parent group, school staff, and business.

Where Do I Start?

Some people are able to use alcohol or recreational/prescription drugs without becoming addicted. For many others, though, substance use can be seen as a way to escape the problems in their lives and, unfortunately, bears much more serious consequences. The use of alcohol or drugs to cope with life’s problems only exacerbates existing problems and likely causes new problems, resulting in feelings of isolation, helplessness or shame.

 

If you’re worried about your own, or a friend or family member’s, drug or alcohol use, it’s important to know that help is available. Learning about the nature of alcohol and drug abuse and addiction—why and how it develops, what it looks like, and why it can have such a powerful hold—will give you a better understanding of the problem, whether there is one, and how to best deal with it.

 

Pathway Society is here to help you get the answers and support you need.
