NYAPRS Note: Inform youth in your program or in your community about the addiction recovery youth input forum in your area, hosted by YOUTH POWER! for OASAS. Integrating young voices into the recovery movement toward effective policy and programmatic interventions is essential to the lasting impact of our community. See information below and find out more about YP! at www.youthpowerny.org.
The New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and YOUTH POWER! have teamed up to host the Kickin’ It Tour for young people ages 15-25 with experience in addiction recovery programs.
Join us for entertainment, food and an opportunity to speak your mind.
Every day in Albany, state employees make decisions about the prevention and addiction services you receive. We believe your input is needed so that these decisions are not off the mark. Help us build opportunities for young people to be heard. Help us improve community supports for young people.
Speak-Up! Speak-Out! Tell Us What Helps and What Harms Your Recovery.
These events are free but you must register. Complete the registration form and send it to info@youthpowerny.org
