Last month, Adam McBride, PreventEd Director of Advocacy, met with congressional leaders and administrative officials in Washington D.C. to discuss the power of primary prevention to curb the prevalence of substance use disorders. Adam went as part of a larger advocacy effort with Voices for Non-Opioid Choices - a national nonpartisan coalition dedicated to preventing opioid addiction before it starts. Advocacy at all levels of government is a vital piece in PreventEd's mission statement.
