What is a key role of the IPC?

The key role of the IPC, or Installation Program Coordinator, is to promote the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) services. This involves raising awareness about the available resources related to substance abuse prevention, education, and rehabilitation among soldiers and their families. By effectively communicating the benefits of these services, the IPC ensures that service members understand how to access support and resources, which is crucial for fostering a healthier environment and addressing issues related to substance abuse within the military community.

Promoting ASAP services enables better participation in programs designed to prevent and tackle substance-related problems, ultimately enhancing the overall readiness and well-being of soldiers. This role is pivotal in encouraging soldiers to utilize the available resources, promoting a culture of support and openness regarding substance abuse issues.
