Public Information & Outreach Advisory Committee
CMA PI&O has one ultimate focus, and it mirrors the primary purpose of each CMA Group, “to carry its message to the addict who still suffers.” CMA PI&O accomplishes this in three ways:
- Providing information to the “non-addict” whose work or association may be involved with an active crystal meth addict.
- Providing information to the public regarding the CMA fellowship.
- Providing information to the CMA fellowship, keeping it well informed so that members and groups may work more effectively to carry the message.
With this understanding, the CMA PI&O Advisory Committee developed the following Vision and Mission statements:
PI&O Mission Statement
“To provide and communicate consistent and readily available information and resources to all those affected by crystal meth.”
PI&O Vision Statement
“All those affected by crystal meth are informed of Crystal Meth Anonymous.”

PI&O Workgroups
CMA Helpline: CMA operates a 24/7 helpline for callers seeking support, wanting to learn more about CMA, and help finding meetings. We always need more fellows with 12 months or more of clean time interested in being of service by answering calls. Reach out to our helpline volunteer for more information.
Professionals & Under-served Areas: A core aspect of PI&O is ensuring professionals who work with those affected by crystal meth know about Crystal Meth Anonymous. As a workgroup, we make this goal our primary purpose through outreach to professionals around the country.
Fellowship Survey: CMA regularly surveys the fellowship to provide a snapshot of who we are, the needs of the fellowship, and identify opportunities for growth and development. This workgroup handles the planning, execution, and analysis of our fellowship survey.
PICO: PICO is a collaboration between the PI&O and Communications advisory committees. This workgroup developed public service announcements for the fellowship (check them out below!) and other projects where outreach and communication overlap.
Tools & Resources Workgroup: The Tools & Resources workgroup develops new flyers, strategies, presentations, and other tools that can be useful for local fellowships when performing outreach activities at community events, within the community, or to professionals. Many of the “Tools of the Fellowship” below are products of this workgroup.
