Arming Minorities Against Addiction & Disease
Visit: www.amaad.org

As an independent nonprofit public benefit corporation, the AMAAD (Arming Minorities Against Addiction & Disease) Institute is an advocate for community-based health and wellness services that support the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder and various physical and mental health co-factors that are exacerbated by alcohol and drug use. Our working model is that of a resource and refe

rral organization dedicated to empowering individuals on a personalized case-by-case basis to access appropriate prevention, screening, and treatment alternatives. Our strengthens-based approach is informed by the belief that people in the entire community benefit when individuals within it have access to supportive services that help them to manage their lives in a manner that embraces their self-defined ethnic identification, sexual-orientation, and/or gender-expression.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

At AMAAD Institute, we answer that call through our 10-year vision centered on Health, Housing, and Hope, working to ensure our communities have the resources, stability, and support they deserve.

“My existence is not up for debate. I am worthy of joy, safety, and a future.” —

As we honor Transgender Awareness Week, we uplift the truth, brilliance, and resilience of our trans community, especially Black and Brown trans women who continue to lead, heal, and transform our movements.

Across the U.S., trans people, particularly Black trans women, face some of the highest rates of violence, discrimination, and barriers to safety. And while numbers shift each year, one reality remains: our community deserves to live without fear.

This week and every week, we recognize the strength of our trans siblings, hold space for their stories, and affirm that their lives are powerful, necessary, and worth protecting.
