The Jersey County Against Drugs Coalition and the Jersey Community Hospital are hosting a Community Resource Fair on Thursday, March 9, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Susnig Center at 401 Mound Street in Jerseyville.
The Community Resource Fair is a free event and appropriate for youth in the sixth grade and up, parents and caregivers, and all community members.
The drug coalition works to offer the highest quality of prevention, intervention and awareness programs to keep youth healthy and drug free. Jersey Community Hospital is committed to the treatment and recovery of individuals and their families experiencing substance use and mental health disorders. Working together, they strive to connect community members to local resources, educate the youth and provide evidence-based support for treatment, recovery and prevention.
The resource fair is a collaboration of vendors in the area who will share resources, answer questions, and help to reduce the stigma surrounding substance use and mental health.
More information on the resource fair can be found by emailing Lauren Savoie ([email protected]) or Rita Robertson ([email protected]).
