| What Is H.H.A.A.D? H.H.A.A.D is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to bringing attention and resources to the epidemic of drug abuse both inside and outside of the entertainment community. We are preparing to launch this vision through a national drug abuse awareness campaign that galvanizes the most powerful elements and resources of the hip hop and entertainment community to create an intervention of hope. Who Is Our Target? H.H.A.A.D..s primary focus is on children, youth and adults ages 8 to 80. Those who others may label ..hard-to-reach... The beauty of hip hop is that it was created, perpetuate and is now celebrated by the ..hard-to-reach. What better vehicle to deliver resources, programs and products that send the message ..You are not forgotten... H.H.A.A.D creates positive alternatives to drug abuse for both adults and children as well as linkages and resources that provide visions of hope. We send the message that the world is filled with reachable goals. Our motto: ..My dreams are meant to be but it..s up to me!.. What We Do H.H.A.A.D creates powerful opportunities on a national and local level and uses them as teachable moments. We offer a comprehensive menu of interventions to effectively address those populations deemed ..hardest-to-reach... Our weapons of warfare include: music; television programming and campaigns; concerts and other live performances; public appearances by major artists; culturally sensitive/grass-roots created educational and drug awareness CDs, videos and curricula, unique and powerful treatment and intervention resources, and much more. What Is Our Mission? Our mission is two-prong: prevention and intervention. We believe future adult problems can be avoided if time and caring are invested in our children today. Our mission towards prevention is to invest in our youth now! To let them experience positive growth-promoting environments; to encourage them to set goals; and to launch them on a path of successful goal attainment. Of equal importance is the need to remember those currently suffering from this terrible disease we call ..drug abuse... It is not enough to recognize the problem. We must join forces to send the most powerful message possible that hope and help are here! Where other interventions leave off. That..s where H.H.A.A.D is just getting STARTED! |
