Helping Services works closely with community members to educate and seek positive change regarding illicit drug use, over-use of alcohol, prescription medications, and tobacco.

It’s often a challenge for us to explain the far-reaching impact that Prevention work has on a community.  This video is able to quickly connect the importance of the prevention of FIRST USE of drug or alcohol use –  ninety percent of adults with a substance use disorder(SUD) started using alcohol or drugs before they turned 18.  

Helping Services focuses it’s prevention efforts, on our youth.  JOIN US in helping to make our youth and communities stronger!
