About Us

It has been identified that there is a critical need for a community-based coalition in the zip codes 21401 and 21403 located in Annapolis, Maryland.

Overall, Anne Arundel County’s most significant health issues are found in our very own community of Annapolis. As stated in the Anne Arundel Community Health Assessment of Need (CHNA), the city of Annapolis is ranked second highest for alcohol consumption and misuse for ages 12 to 20.

In the summer of 2016, Serenity Sistas’ Inc. developed a partnership with Restoration Community Development Corporation (RCDC) to form the ASAP Coalition.

The Annapolis Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) coalition will work in the community promoting public health, safety, and wellness for Annapolis families and community members.

Our Mission

Our mission is to facilitate community change to prevent and reduce alcohol, marijuana, and opioid use among youth and young adults through locally-led collaborations and evidence-based strategies

Our Goal

To provide and implement early evidence-based prevention strategies reducing alcohol and drug use among 12-17 year old Annapolis youth. 

The ASAP coalition will align itself with the Maryland Strategic Prevention Framework (MSPF) goals by facilitating a systematic, data-driven approach. We will generate and monitor priorities for the prevention, of the targeted population, of alcohol consumption levels and substance misuse in the City of Annapolis, Maryland.
