How
Can I Get Involved in Substance Use Systems Advocacy? |
| 1. |
|
Join the AIDS Substance Abuse Partnership
(ASAP)
ASAP was established in 1988 to promote HIV prevention, education
and outreach activities for substance abusers in Minnesota. We are
a multidisciplinary coalition of professionals from HIV and chemical
dependency prevention, education and treatment programs, government
and elected officials, as well as individuals directly impacted by
the twin epidemics of HIV and substance abuse.
ASAP promotes good public policy and system changes through advocacy,
education and networking. We support policies to integrate HIV education
and prevention in substance abuse treatment programs and to increase
the knowledge and understanding of the relationship between HIV and
substance abuse.
ASAP meets monthly on the third Wednesday of each month from 1:30
to 3:00 pm at the Minnesota AIDS Project at 1400 Park Ave. S. in Minneapolis.
