Why public relations is important?

​

The Narcotics Anonymous 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. We perform public relations service to increase the awareness and credibility of the NA program. We share our message openly with the public at large, with prospective members, and with professionals. 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. The spiritual principles of our steps, traditions, and concepts guide us in pursuing our public relations aims and our efforts to enhance NA’s public image and reputation. These principles apply to our community and service efforts as well as to the personal behavior and attitude of individual NA members.

​

We would like to repeat our Eleventh Tradition, which says, “Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.” The primary purpose of our public relations effort is to tell the story of Narcotics Anonymous and what our program offers so that we may better reach the still-suffering addict. We do not give our last names nor allow our image to appear in the media as a member of Narcotics Anonymous. Please direct all media to pr@namumbai.org or +91 0000000000

What is PR?

​

Public Relations inform the public about recovery from the disease of addiction through the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous.

 

Who does it?

​

We provide community awareness of what NA is, as well as how, when, and where we are available. We accomplish this by the NA Mumbai phone line, responding to requests for speakers and/or information about Narcotics Anonymous from the community.
