Millennium Fellowship Project: Substance Abuse Awareness Program (SAAP)
By informing the public about the dangers, offering preventative techniques, and putting people in touch with treatment options, this effort seeked to lower substance misuse. Through a combination of community engagement, educational campaigns, and collaborations with nearby groups, we were able to accomplish this.
