How AADAP Practices Prevention Through the Years

To cap the first season of Prevention 365 podcast series, host Carol Almeda engages in a synthesizing discussion with AADAP Prevention Director Jeanne Shimatsu. In this season finale, Jeanne and Carol converse on how the practice of preventing substance use/abuse has evolved into a multi-dimensional approach that shows how substance use/abuse is intertwined with the broader issues related to public health and social justice. Within this dynamic social landscape, there remains a constant in AADAP’s prevention work which is to focus on informing , organizing and mobilizing communities to keep them motivated in pursuing the goal of attaining drug-free and quality lives.
