Knowledge is one of the strongest tools in prevention.

Yesterday, our Prevention Team recently visited the Department of Youth Services in Prattville to lead an informative presentation on Alcohol, To***co, and Other Drugs (ATOD) and the dangers of va**ng. By providing facts, encouraging open conversation, and equipping young people with the skills to make healthy decisions, we're helping build stronger, safer futures.

Thank you to the staff and youth at DYS for welcoming us and participating in these important discussions. Together, we're creating healthier communities one conversation at a time.

Every veteran's journey is different but no one should have to walk it alone.

At COSA, we believe healing happens through connection, purpose, and community. From peer support and educational workshops to wellness events and resource navigation, we're committed to helping veterans build healthier futures after military service.

Because asking for support is a sign of strength NOT weakness.

There's nothing like spending time together in community!

Our veterans and their families recently enjoyed a wonderful day at the Montgomery Zoo, where they explored exhibits, shared conversations, created new memories, and strengthened connections with one another. Events like these are about more than just having fun. They're opportunities to build community, reduce isolation, and remind our veterans that they are never alone.

Our Veteran team look forward to seeing you at the next event!
