A photovoice project was carried out in the Ringwood/Wanaque area of Passaic County, New Jersey, with the collaboration of Young Adults Against Substance Abuse (YAASA) and the Alliance of Wanaque and Ringwood for Education and Awareness for Substance Abuse Prevention (AWARE ASAP).

What is PhotoVoice?

Photovoice is a process by which people can identify, represent, and enhance their community through a specific photographic technique. 

 

To enable people to record and reflect on their community strengths and concerns. 



To promote critical dialogue and knowledge about important issues through large and small group discussions of photographs.

 

To reach policy makers and encourage the adaptation of health-promoting policies.
