About Graves County ASAP
HISTORY

Celebrating 20 Years of Prevention, Progress, and Partnership

Graves County ASAP (Agency for Substance Abuse Prevention) is a community coalition dedicated to preventing substance misuse, promoting healthy choices, and strengthening our community through education, collaboration, and advocacy.

Created in 2005, Graves County ASAP began with a group of local leaders who recognized the need for a unified approach to addressing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention efforts. Since receiving its first funding allocation from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the coalition has grown into a leading prevention and recovery organization serving Graves County.

As part of the Kentucky ASAP network, local boards work alongside community partners to identify local needs, develop strategic solutions, and support programs that create lasting change. Today, there are 75 local ASAP boards serving communities across Kentucky, with Graves County ASAP continuing to be a strong voice for prevention and community health.

Over the past 20 years, Graves County ASAP has expanded its efforts through youth leadership programs, prevention education, mental health awareness initiatives, overdose prevention, recovery support services, and community partnerships. Through programs such as the Graves ASAP Youth Council, school-based prevention efforts, community awareness campaigns, and recovery initiatives like Next Steps, the coalition continues to empower individuals and families throughout Graves County.

The Graves County ASAP Board is made up of community members, leaders, and stakeholders who believe that prevention works and that positive change happens through collaboration. We welcome community members, organizations, and partners to join us in building a safer, healthier future for Graves County.
