CARE and Advocacy

Advocacy

The fight against substance use, and the opioid epidemic requires treatment, support services, counseling, education, and other services that CARE provides. But it also requires organized action by communities to advocate for change in policies, laws, public perception, and community norms. If you’ve ever wanted to get involved with the fight against substance use and misuse but didn’t know exactly what to do, you may find an answer below.

Project Vox

"CARE of Southeastern MI has been vital to the Healthy Grosse Pointe/Harper Woods Coalition and the community by working to promote public health and safety by reducing drug/alcohol abuse among our teens and identifying and planning events promoting mental health awareness."
