Awareness Creates Opportunity
The first step toward protecting children is recognizing the need. Communities cannot respond to what they cannot see.
NADEC helps professionals and communities understand the impact of parental and caregiver substance misuse and recognize opportunities to intervene earlier.
In a nutshell: the NADEC Ecosystem helps communities move from learning about drug endangered children to building lasting multidisciplinary partnerships and changing system responses that serve to strengthen families and transform entire communities.
AWARENESS
Building understanding of drug endangered children and the impact of substance misuse.
Every community begins in a different place. The NADEC Ecosystem brings together the tools, partnerships, and support needed to create lasting change - wherever your journey starts.
