NCADD-NJ Advocacy Leadership Program


 

NCADD-NJ Advocacy Leadership Program – The Advocacy Leadership Program aims to develop highly knowledgeable and trained citizens of New Jersey, especially those most impacted or affected by alcohol and drug addiction, who will contribute significantly by participating in policy decisions that influence the treatment and prevention of, as well as recovery from, alcohol and drug addiction. The issues at the forefront of the Program are closing the states addiction treatment gap; ending the stigmatization of addiction by promoting recovery; ending discrimination experienced by persons in recovery; and, preventing addiction. The Program will foster engaged and educated advocates by building an understanding of self-advocacy, legislative / government processes, social change models, story-telling, as well as how to use social capital as a way of influencing others to take action. The ultimate goal is to have Advocacy Leaders become fully empowered advocates engaged in systems change efforts via core leadership teams established throughout New Jersey.
