People are hurting
Drug and alcohol addiction is breaking up marriages, destroying homes, crippling children’s futures, laying waste to communities
The DeKalb Prevention Coalition and Community Advisory Board are pleased to announce an upcoming special night for our community, Tuesday November 10 at 6:00 p.m.
Monty Burks, Director of Faith Based Initiatives for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services will be at the DeKalb County Complex (UT Extension Room) to help rally local churches and the community in an effort to reach out to those struggling with addictions and connect them to vital substance abuse services.
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services has launched this exciting, new mission partnering with faith-based communities across the state. The goal is to build a recovery network comprised of compassionate and concerned citizens.
Your congregation is invited to join this effort and become a certified recovery church/faith-based organization in the State of Tennessee.
Dinner will be provided at the meeting Tuesday evening. Attendees are asked to RSVP (by phone or email) although it is not necessary or mandatory in order to attend. Phone 615-597-4673 or email norene.drugcourt@gmail.com.
