PUBLIC RELATIONS
PURPOSE
To inform the public about the Narcotics Anonymous (NA), a program of recovery from addiction, and
provide information about how and where to find NA. The Region 51 Public Relations Committee
should adequately inform the fellowship about PR efforts and what to do when someone outside of
NA requests information. All PR activities are directed towards that purpose and shall be carried out
in accordance with The Twelve Traditions and Concepts of Narcotics Anonymous. The NA 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.
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: “to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.”
The committee will accomplish this by coordinating the services we provide to maximize our ability to
fulfill our primary purpose.
