As the fiscal sponsor for Drug Crisis in Our Backyard, ASK supports our mission to bring awareness of
the rampant abuse of prescription and illegal drugs in our community; bring recognition that substance
misuse is a chronic disease; and to assist individuals and their families who are struggling with the
effects of substance use in a friend or loved one.
Drug Crisis in Our Backyard offers the following programs:
- Spotlight Family Support Group, an ongoing weekly group designed to help family members learn strategies to influence change in a loved one’s behavior as well as develop personal skills for resilience.
- Individual family coaching and resources for choosing best options for loved ones who are at risk or in need of treatment.
- Regularly scheduled training in CRAFT and the Invitation to Change approach for helping loved ones
- reduce use or enter treatment.
- Free Naloxone Training and Kits. Naloxone is a medication to assist with the reversal of an opioid overdose.
- Yoga for Resilience allows you to carve out time for yourself so you may respond to your loved one that is struggling with addiction with a clear mind and open heart. In this free, weekly class we will come together in a safe space to practice somatic mindfulness, grounding & centering, containment and breath regulation.
