Standing strong for our community

In these peaks and valleys, we take care of our own. Appalachian Influence is a network of everyday people—from church leaders to soccer coaches—who use social media to promote the benefits of harm reduction.

Because when you reduce the harms of drug use, you save lives and protect the health of everyone in our community.
