Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for the Southern Illinois Drug Awareness Conference. This two-day seminar provides an opportunity to bring local agencies together to discuss the intersectionality of substance use, mental health and homelessness issues that southern Illinois is experiencing. Community stakeholders such as law enforcement, healthcare providers, child and family services, prevention, educators, treatment providers, recovery support specialists, veterans and other sectors, will be presenting issues southern Illinois professionals are facing and solutions that are being implemented. Current protocols and evidence-based practices that are used to support people with chronic substance use challenges will be presented to bridge gaps in services and assist in connecting people with the multiple paths available to those seeking recovery.
