Public health is all around us—it’s the work being done every day to keep our communities safe, informed, and supported.

From substance use prevention and mental health awareness to increasing access to care, public health focuses on helping individuals and families live healthier lives. At LA. CADA, we’re proud to be part of that effort by providing education, resources, and services that meet people where they are.

Through our youth prevention programs, outpatient and residential treatment services, harm reduction efforts, and community outreach, we are working to reduce the impact of substance use and support long-term wellness across Los Angeles County.

Public health starts with all of us. Whether it’s learning the facts, supporting a friend, attending community events, or accessing resources, small actions can make a big impact.

If you’re interested in bringing LA. CADA to your school or community event, we encourage you to connect with us and be part of the movement toward healthier communities.

Last week, our Long Beach Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH) site welcomed a special guest, Charlie Evans IV, President of Assist Mortgage Co., who joined our clients for a powerful conversation about financial literacy, long-term stability, and how real estate can serve as a pathway to generational wealth.

Many individuals in our RBH program are currently in a rebuilding phase of life, making conversations like these incredibly meaningful. Charlie shared practical insights on building financial stability and planning for the future, giving our clients valuable tools and perspective as they continue their recovery journey.

Our clients and staff truly appreciated Charlie taking the time to invest in our community. Megan C, shared that the group greatly benefited from the discussion, and we’re hopeful to coordinate another session soon so more clients can take part.

Moments like these remind us how impactful community partnerships can be in supporting individuals as they rebuild their lives. Thank you to Megan C and the RBH team for hosting, and to Charlie for generously sharing his time and expertise.

Strides for Recovery!

Several of our RBH patients alongside others across our continuum care proudly participated in 10K in Redondo Beach.

Events like these highlight the powerful connection between physical wellness and recovery. Staying active, not only strengthen the body, but also supports focus, discipline, and personal growth throughout the recovery journey.

One of our painter, RBH patients shared: ” I am in the best shape of my life, staying physically active in my recovery keeps me focused on consistent self improvement”.

Inspired by this?
join us for our LA coda dream run 5K on March 28 and be a part of a movement that supports you scholarships and strengthen our community. Walk, jog, or run every step makes a difference.

Let’s keep making strips together 💙
