POWER FORWARD IN ACTION
Saving Lives is a Team Sport
THREE PILLARS, ONE MISSION
EDUCATION - EMPOWERMENT - INNOVATION
Addiction is a disease, one that can be prevented and recovered from. At Power Forward, we take on this silent epidemic on three fronts. Through EDUCATION, by talking to at risk populations, sharing the risks, and risk factors, promoting compassion and understanding, pushing back the stigma, and creating opportunities for early intervention. Through EMPOWERMENT, by being there for people who are ready to change, showing what is possible with a sober life, offering scholarships that allow people to recover with Dignity. And through INNOVATION, by championing groundbreaking programs and research in the field of recovery.
No one is immune from the disease of addiction, but together, we can defeat it.
