🚀 Partnering for Change: NACADA Engages NYS in Kisumu on Addiction Awareness! 🚀 This week, our Kisumu Office held a powerful dialogue with National Youth Service (NYS) personnel on the impact of Alcohol & Drug Abuse (ADA) in the workplace. 🔹 Open discussions revealed real challenges with substance use among officers. 🔹 A heartfelt request was made: "Help us set up support clubs to tackle this issue." 🔹 Our response? "We’re in this together!" ✅ NACADA has committed to walking alongside NYS to establish peer support systems, because a drug-free workplace starts with collective action! 💪 "Strength lies not just in service, but in sobriety and solidarity." #NACADACares #NYSAgainstDrugs #WorkplaceWellness #KisumuRising #EndAddiction #PeerSupportWorks
