April is Alcohol Awareness Month

by Cheryl on April 4, 2012

NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month, held every April, was founded by and has been sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) since 1987 to increase public awareness and understanding aimed at reducing the stigma associated with alcoholism that too often prevents individuals and families from seeking help. 

For the 26th Anniversary of NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month, NCADD has chosen a theme recommended by our NCADD Affiliate in Carmel, New York, NCADD Putnam. “HEALTHY CHOICES, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES: PREVENT UNDERAGE DRINKING”.  The theme is designed to draw attention to the pervasive impact that alcohol, alcohol-related problems and alcoholism have on young people, their friends, on families and in our communities.  Click here for more information.
