Jefferson-Berkeley Alliance

The Jefferson Berkeley Alliance (JBA) is a dedicated organization focused on substance use prevention and education in the community. Committed to addressing the challenges posed by substance use disorders (SUD), JBA works collaboratively with youth, families, and adults to promote understanding and support. They provide vital resources aimed at educating individuals about current substance use trends, while also teaching essential skills to combat the stigma surrounding these issues.

JBA emphasizes the importance of viewing substance use as a medical condition, fostering open discussions to reduce shame and encourage seeking help. Their community-centered approach includes advocacy, linkage to care, and promoting harm reduction strategies. Additionally, JBA engages in outreach, equipping community members with the knowledge to recognize the signs of SUD and understand available resources. By actively promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, JBA prepares individuals for healthier life journeys. Community members are invited to join their prevention efforts and make a meaningful impact with just a small time commitment.
