Subcommittee Purpose:
- Inform the public that Narcotics Anonymous exists and is a viable program of recovery.
- Create and maintain relationships with public entities, professionals, and other organizations that may refer addicts seeking recovery to NA.
- Coordinate services of the Hospitals and Institutions, Phoneline, Public Relations, and Website Teams.
How did YOU first hear about or find NA? Was it an H&I panel in the detox or treatment center you went to? Did you call a local helpline to find out where to find meetings? Or did you hit the internet and find NA info on a website? Your skills, ideas, and passion are needed to help make sure others find the life you’re now living.
