In May 2023, AARC (in partnership with DMHA and the Indiana Youth Group) hosted a virtual training program for youth-serving organizations/individuals and allies of the LGBTQ+ community. The theme was Supporting Mental Health and Substance Abuse Prevention Initiatives for LGBTQ+ Youth, with an introductory section providing a primer on cultural competency and affirming language.

 AARC was recently featured on Channel 46's "Open for Business" program. Executive Director Brian Mounts shared the work AARC is doing to tackle issues related to substance abuse and addiction.
