2013 HIGHLIGHTSAbout NCADD The mission of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) of Middlesex County, Inc. is to promote the health and well-being of individuals and communities of Middlesex County through the reduction or elimination of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use problems. An affiliate of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. and the New Jersey Prevention Network, Inc., we are recognized by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services as the local Prevention Resource Center for Middlesex County.

Since 1980, NCADD has reached hundreds of thousands of people in Middlesex County through information, education, and advocacy. Our services include primary prevention programs, professional workshops and in-service training, community education, confidential information and referral help line, consultation, technical assistance, public awareness campaigns, advocacy, and a prevention resource center. NCADD is committed to continuously exploring new and appropriate ways of engaging youth and their families in healthy, safe, and research- based programming.

As we entered our 33th year in existence, NCADD continued efforts designed to maintain its position as the preeminent prevention agency in the county. We continued to provide a variety of services in several formats to meet the needs of a diverse audience. In addition to providing a wealth of information on our website, NCADD published several monthly electronic newsletters in addition to its quarterly printed Prevention First! and has developed educational programs for health care professionals, educators, parents, children, and others facing the challenges and effects of substance abuse every day.

NCADD’s preventionists continue to help individuals and organizations. And we’ve done so with one primary purpose — dispense knowledge and provide tools necessary to reduce or eliminate problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

Our staff of professionals, interns and volunteers, guided by our Board of Trustees, continued to deliver hundreds of programs to thousands of individuals throughout the county. Some of the highlights for 2013 include:• Our staff handled 156 referral requests

by phone or in person. Our website handled more than 40.

• NCADD responded to over 1,600 requests for information, including over 840 in-person visits to our offices in East Brunswick.

• NCADD’s public awareness efforts resulted in media coverage valued at over $254,000 and reached over 13.7 million individuals.

• NCADD preventionists delivered over 830 in-school presentations that reached over 20,100 students throughout the County.

• Over 1,000 of our eLearning addiction courses were taken by professional seeking certification or re-certication.

• NCADD implemented its newest prevention program, We’re Not Buying

It 2.0TM in school districts thoughout Middlesex County.

In 2013, Pathways, NCADD’s School-Based program, implemented at Carteret high school continued its awamzing growth. Over 250 youth were provided with individual counseling service resulting in over 1470 individual counseling sessions.

Additionally, over 230 youth were provided with group counseling services, which resulted in 83 group sessions delivered. In total, Pathways provided clinical services to 419 unduplicated individuals (individual or group.)

On May 18th, 2013 a crowd of over 150 people gathered in Carteret to “take a step in the right direction” against bullying and the toll bullying takes on our youth, when Pathways organized its first-ever bullying prevention walkathon.

In the fall of 2013, as part of its planned activities for National Recovery Month, NCADD presented “Pass ItOn... An Evening With Bill W. & Dr. Bob.”

This unique, inspirational and often hilarious theatrical production celebrates sobriety and servesas the center piece for an international recoveryeducation project –raising awareness about the solution to North America’s Number One PublicHealth Issue – the disease of Alcoholism and Addiction.

During the same timeframe, NCADD celebrated the 2013 National Recovery Month by dedicating its “Tree of Hope” to the New Brunswick Counseling Center. The “Tree of Hope” is awarded

annually to an organization that promotes recovery fromaddiction.

Two years after launching its Online Self-Administered Help Tool, the website registered visits by over 600 individuals and provided treatment options to over 200.

In the fall of 2013, NCADD’s “We’re Not Buying It 2.0” WNBI program was recognized at the NCADD National Annual Conference of Affiliates. WNBI is a substance abuse prevention programthat focuses on developing digital media literacy skills among sixth through eighth grade students.

On December 4, 2013, the Coalition for Healthy Communities held its 10th annual Young Women’s Conference. The event saw participation by 18

high schools from across Middlesex County. A total of 140 young women attended this full day conference, which was held at the St. John Neumann Conference & Banquet Center in Piscataway.

In 2013, NCADD marked a special milestone when it completed development on of all 45 online CADC

addiction training courses.

As a result, total sales of our online courses increased by 56 percent and over 1,000 individual courses were ordered by addiciton professionals seeking initial certification and renewal credits.
