Conference Mission and Purpose

The Joint Meeting on Youth Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery brings together all relevant stakeholders, constituencies, and interested parties from around the country to address the number one public health issue facing young people today: alcohol and other drugs. This was the first joint national meeting in over a decade convened to address this public health imperative.

The Pathways to Wellness Recidivism Reduction (PWRRI) Forum provides opportunities for leaders, policymakers, administrators, providers, and other stakeholders in Native communities to share information and learn about behavioral health and substance use issues facing American Indians and Alaska Natives today. Join us to grow a body of knowledge and expertise to impact the health and wellness in Native communities all around the United States. The PWRRI Forum is pleased to run concurrently as a track in the Joint Meeting on Youth Prevention, Treatment and Recovery and for two half days afterwards.
