NOPE

Narcotics Overdose Prevention & Education (NOPE) is a youth-focused early intervention initiative providing psychoeducation and prevention services to deter early-stage substance use and high-risk behaviors. Our mission is to equip youth with the tools and knowledge to make healthy, informed decisions in a supportive environment that fosters resilience and growth. 

NOPE is currently building partnerships with schools, community organizations, and non-profits across Camden County to offer engaging and impactful presentations available both in-person and virtually, tailored to middle school, high school, and college-age youth. Presentations are scheduled weekly and can be customized based on your organization’s/schools needs. 

To learn more about the NOPE program or other Camden County initiatives supporting youth substance use prevention, mental health, and school-based services, please contact: Camden County Office of Mental Health & Addiction at (856) 374-6361


Each session includes three components:

Educator Presentation: An overview of the NOPE mission and educational content.

Law Enforcement Perspective: A front-line officer's insights on responding to overdose calls, community addiction challenges, and the use of Narcan.

Personal Recovery Story: A guest speaker sharing their journey from addiction to recovery.

Stronger Together: Finding Strength in Shared Journeys, featuring Growing Up Online

There’s something really special about talking to someone who has gone through the same things you have. They understand in a way that others might not, because they’ve lived it too. When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.
