Alcohol Harms Prevention Initiative

The Alcohol Harms Prevention Initiative (AHPI) works to support statewide efforts to reduce the harmful economic, health, and social impacts of excessive alcohol use and related harms on the lives of Californians. AHPI does this through partnership building, research, health education materials, and evidence-based strategies for preventing excessive alcohol use and related harms in California. Learn more about AHPI (PDF).

If you or someone you know needs help with a drinking problem, call SAMHSA’s confidential, free, 24/7 National Hotline at 1-800-662-4357, or talk with your health care provider.
