Meet our Parent Coaches!
In 2020 our community gained 17 amazing Parent & Family Peer-to-Peer Coaches thanks to our recent intensive training by the addiction and recovery experts with Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and Center for Motivation and Change. We are so grateful to these individuals who stepped forward to learn more about helping others who are walking this path. We look forward to sharing the many ways they will be able to help our community. A BIG thank you to The National Children's Advocacy Center for the use of their beautiful Training Center and to Chuppertime Catering, Bigfoot Little Donuts, & The Lioce Group for their gracious donation of food for our coaches and trainers!
2020 Parent Coaches!
Our Board of Directors work hard to learn, support and educate others about substance use disorders. NOMA's Board of Directors is an all-volunteer group of professionals, community leaders and advocates for families and friends who love someone or have tragically lost someone fighting the disease of addiction. Our goal is to lift the stigma of addiction and support those in crisis until there is #NotOneMoreAlabama. Here's a glimpse of what we've been doing with the support of our community.
What is Not One More Alabama?
In November 2016 a group of family members and professionals began collaborating to address the epidemic of substance abuse and addiction in the state of Alabama. Realizing that incarceration, shame and detachment, and well as Just Say No or DARE campaigns had good intentions but produced extremely poor results, Not One More Alabama decided to step forward and share their personal experiences, knowledge, hope and support with those impacted by the disease of addiction.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), opioid deaths continued to surge in 2015, surpassing 30,000 for the first time in recent history. That marks an increase of nearly 5,000 deaths from 2014. Deaths involving powerful synthetic opiates, like Fentanyl, rose by nearly 75% from 2014 to 2015. More people died from heroin-related causes than from gun homicides in 2015. As recently as 2007, gun homicides outnumbered heroin deaths by more than 5 to 1.
Partner with us as we support families that have been affected by this disease, educate those who have not, and assist those in need of recovery services. Together we can save lives and change the stigma associated with addiction.
