Mothers Against Methamphetamine is involved in community education about the horrors of methamphetamine addiction at many different levels. Our videos and printed materials, booklets and pamphlets, provide basic information about the effects of methamphetamine on the human brain and personality in terms anyone can understand. Our chapters use these materials to hold community education events in schools, churches and community centers all across the country.
Mothers Against Methamphetamine holds continuing education seminars for professionals to inform community leaders and keep them up to date on the rapidly changing research on methamphetamine, trends in use and importation, effects on the minds and bodies of users, advances in rehabilitation, effects on the unborn fetus and children of addicts, and strategies for prevention. These seminars of up to three days include information for teachers, nurses, counselors, social workers, law officers, and drug court professionals to help them in their work on the front lines in the fight against addiction. These seminars are approved for CEU credit through Jacksonville State University.
Mothers Against Methamphetamine also has video and printed material for those ministering to addicts, in jail or prison, and in rehabilitation settings. The Power Over Addiction curriculum is used with addicts and inmates across the nation to educate them about all drugs of abuse, including methamphetamine, and show them the mercy of Jesus Christ for the struggling addict.
With the foundational materials provided by Mothers Against Methamphetamine, our chapters are moving in their local communities with youth programs, drug endangered children’s programs, family support groups, and educational programs. They are partnering with organizations like Celebrate Recovery, National Drug Endangered Children, and Crystal Darkness to bring proven quality programs into their communities.
