Ipswich Aware is a community coalition. We are pastors and politicians. We are police officers and social workers. We are teachers and business owners. We are nurses, doctors, and administrators. We are community organizers and youth counselors.

​

Ipswich Aware started as a grass roots organization in 2015 in response to opioid overdoses and struggles with addiction among Ipswich individuals and families. The coalition worked with the Ipswich community, individuals and organizations, to develop educational programs and events that would aid families and individuals in recovery or seeking help.

​

Our Steering Committee and volunteers have pledged to harness the power that comes from a collaborative drawing from disciplines as diverse as law enforcement, medicine, town government, education, commerce, the faith community, and the Massachusetts state legislature. 

​

Ipswich Aware is a program of the Ipswich Family YMCA. Donations should be made payable to the North Shore YMCA to support Ipswich Aware.
