Now in its tenth year of programming, One Step at a Time has engaged 8,797 individuals through 92 presentations. JFCS is committed to educating tweens, teens, and families about the epidemic of addiction in our South Jersey communities. Originally focused on opiate and heroin addiction, we have refreshed the program to incorporate all substances that impact young people, including alcohol, vapes, nicotine, marijuana, opiates, and heroin. One Step at a Time incorporates interactive software so that participants can actively engage with the presenters. Voices representing expertise, impact, and law enforcement remain integral to the program, as we share warning signs and offer safe and accessible ways to seek guidance and help.
Our mission to provide meaningful prevention awareness continues! We are currently offering both in-person and virtual program options. Ultimately, we believe One Step at a Time saves lives by increasing awareness, promoting conversation, and normalizing the need to “ask for help.”
