Our Mission
MOMSTELL mission is to promote awareness and eliminate the stigma of drug and alcohol abuse through improving treatment, education, legislation, and policy. We want to encourage people to become involved by writing letters and making phone calls to legislators regarding the substance abuse issues in their communities. When parents speak up and speak out, policies change.
Addiction is a disease that must be addressed with quality treatment that is readily available
for anyone who needs it. Families must receive support services in order to effectively help their addicted loved one. As parents and family members unite with "one voice," positive change in substance abuse treatment, education, legislation and policy will take place.
Our Goal
Our goal is to join concerned parents and families and work together for positive change regarding substance abuse issues. Addiction is a disease. We must work together to protect our children from the devastation that drugs and alcohol bring to families. As parents and family members unite into “one voice,” positive change in substance abuse treatment, education, legislation, policies and prevention will take place.
