Welcome to the Public Relations Subcommittee page!
"The Narcotics Anonymous message is “that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.” Our relations with the public enable us to share this message broadly so that those who might benefit from our program of recovery can find us. We perform public relations service to increase the awareness and credibility of the NA program. We share our message openly with the public at large, with prospective members, and with professionals. Maintaining an open, attractive attitude in these efforts helps us to create and improve relationships with those outside the fellowship. Establishing and maintaining a commitment to these relationships can help us to further our primary purpose.
The spiritual principles of our Steps, Traditions, and Concepts guide us in pursuing our public relations aims and our efforts to enhance NA’s public image and reputation. These principles apply to our community and service efforts as well as to the personal behavior and attitude of individual NA members."
Why public relations is important to the NA member
Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
Tradition Five
The purpose of “public relations” work in Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is to inform the public that Narcotics Anonymous (NA) exists and offers recovery from the disease of addiction. A Public Relations Committee helps to ensure that information about our fellowship is accurate and is available to the public.
How Do I Get Involved?
The Public Relations subcommittee helps inform the community about Narcotics Anonymous and the availability of recovery. PR efforts may include communication with professionals, community organizations, and the public to help ensure accurate information about NA is available.
Members interested in participating in PR service are encouraged to attend a subcommittee meeting to learn more about current projects and service opportunities.
