Opioid Addiction Prevention and Advocacy Association.
Community Service & Volunteering
Our organization aims to prevent and reduce the harm associated with opioid misuse in the greater San Diego Area. We aim to do this with a three-pronged approach that addresses opioid misuse and its stigma, particularly among those from intersectional disadvantaged backgrounds who are disproportionately affected by the epidemic. We aim to educate on harm reduction and opioid addiction prevention. We also aim to target medical practitioners, current and future, to help advocate for those afflicted by the epidemic and reduce implicit biases and disparities for these already disadvantaged groups.
