Building AUD Supportive Communities: Prince George

We are thrilled to be partnering with the Prince George Community Foundation to deliver a deep-dive community engagement program Building AUD Supportive Communities in Prince George!

Through this year-long project, we’ll work collaboratively to:

  • Spread awareness that AUD is a treatable health condition.

  • Help people feel more comfortable and supported to talk about AUD and seek care.

  • Create a healthier local drinking culture.

First event

Vital Conversations: Alcohol Use Disorder event, June 19th 2024

A wide variety of community leaders and individuals with an interest in alcohol use disorder and new treatment options attended an interactive workshop in Prince George. In the morning, they heard from local care providers and health experts all about alcohol use disorder and new treatment options. In the afternoon, we hosted a community conversation.

Next up: Spreading the word! We’ll soon form an Action Group in Prince George to plan and host activities and events designed to increase awareness about AUD and treatment options, and to shift drinking culture.
