About Us
Jefferson Berkeley Alliance on Substance Use Prevention or JBA, is a coalition of community members who work together to SAVE LIVES by preventing overdoses, both fatal and non-fatal, in our youth and adults.
OUR WORK WITH YOUTH
JBA educates youth and their families regarding current trends in substance use that could potentially directly impact the youth in our community. JBA teaches where and how adolescents and adults can get help for themselves and/or their peers. JBA works to increase protective factors in the youth of Jefferson and Berkeley Counties by teaching positive mental health strategies in children, families, and adults.
OUR WORK WITH ADULTS:
The Jefferson Berkeley Alliance is dedicated to educating adults so they can be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a substance use disorder or SUD. JBA also educates community members about the multiple types of recovery pathways, and how to find the best and most appropriate help for a loved one or friend. This is done while simultaneously supporting community members that struggle with SUD. Our support for these members of our community entails education, advocacy, supporting local harm reduction programs and efforts, linkage to care, and recognizing the full spectrum of recovery. There is no one size fits all to prevention, substance use disorders, or recovery which allows JBA to work reducing the shame & stigma surrounding SUD by supporting the medical model of substance use.
