Why H&I Meetings Are Needed
H&I meetings can carry the NA message of recovery to addicts who do not have full access to regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings. H&I is an important service in our public relations efforts in NA. One of our PR goals is to inform the public and the potential member about our program. When addicts seeking recovery know who we are and where to find our meetings, this means our efforts have been successful. H&I meetings and presentations, except for those in long-term facilities, are intended to introduce those attending to some of the basics of the NA program

H&I and Public Information Cooperation
H&I and Public Relations Cooperation In NA communities that have both a PR and an H&I committee, it may be helpful for them to work together when planning activities. These activities can include presentations to drug courts or treatment centers. Generally, PR activities are geared to people outside our fellowship, often people who come in contact with addicts and can help addicts to find NA.
Although H&I usually has the responsibility to provide panel meetings, trusted servants from both committees may be involved with presentations in facilities that house potential members. Working together is an example of communication and sharing resources in action. In emerging and developing NA communities, a group or one service committee may provide services.
