As Prevention Month Concludes, we wanted to share how we make an impact in the community.

At Liberation Programs, prevention is about taking action, giving people the knowledge, skills, and support they need to save lives and strengthen communities.

Training & Education
We provide evidence-based programs like Narcan (Naloxone) Training to prevent overdoses and Su***de Prevention (QPR) to help people recognize warning signs and take action.

Community-Based Programs
Our work extends beyond schools โ€” reaching youth, parents, and older adults through workshops, outreach events, and partnerships with local organizations across Fairfield County.

Advocacy & Education
We raise awareness and influence policies around substance use prevention, harm reduction, and mental health, helping communities become more informed, compassionate, and resilient.

Every conversation, every training, every connection brings us closer to a community where prevention is part of everyday life.

For more information, help with a prevention event or toolkit, please contact our amazing team: Ingrid.gillespie@liberationprograms.org or daniella.arias@liberationprograms.org We can't wait to hear from you!

Parents & Educators โ€“ We equip caregivers and teachers with tools to start meaningful conversations, strengthen communication, and support youth in making safe, informed choices.

Older Adults โ€“ We address the risks of medication misuse, alcohol use, and social isolation, while promoting connection, wellness, and community engagement.

From classrooms to senior centers, prevention is about connection, empowering people of all ages with knowledge, tools, and support that last a lifetime.
