A project by the Boston University of Public Health, Join Together has come a long way in sharing information, strategic planning assistance and leadership for different communities in handling alcohol and drug related problems.
Join Together is an institution that aids community leaders in understanding up-to-date and scientifically proven drug and alcohol prevention and treatment approaches. It aims to enhance the community strategies on drug prevention and treatment and reaches out to community leaders, public officials, prevention and treatment professionals, parents, families, and teachers. The group provides several useful programs, policies and information through their online campaigns, partnerships and connections with existing organizations.
They also provide information for lay leaders and professionals, such as valuable news reports and research information in the fields of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. Join Together also supplies technical assistance for creating and dveloping prevention and reduction strategies on alcohol and drug abuse.
In cooperation with Partnership for a Drug Free America, Join Together was able to publish an online resource guide to aid families in dealing with serious alcohol and drug related problems. It also funded the development of a smoking cessation campaign called QuitNet that aims to help individuals kick the habit.
