At HARP, we believe that prevention is just as important as treatment. Addiction doesn't only affect individuals—it impacts families, schools, workplaces, and entire communities. That's why we run Public Education and Sensitization Programs to raise awareness, fight stigma, and prevent substance abuse before it starts.
Our outreach efforts are designed to inform, empower, and engage communities in the fight against drug and alcohol abuse. Through these programs, we provide education on the dangers of substance use, the early signs of addiction, and the importance of mental health support.

Transforming Communities Through Education
By engaging with communities directly, we break down barriers of fear and shame, replacing them with knowledge, compassion, and hope. Our approach empowers communities to become active participants in prevention and recovery support.
At HARP, public education is more than awareness—it's about building healthier communities, changing attitudes, and preventing the next generation from falling into addiction.
