Protecting Our Youth
Join us as we discuss local PREVENTION efforts and address concerns about rising numbers of youth incidents involving substance use and mental health disorders…
Located at East Fishkill Town Hall: 330 Route 376, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533
This special forum was created by CAPE in partnership with the EFPD, after receiving the Communities Talk grant from SAMHSA. Local law enforcement shared with us their concerns about an increase in the number of youth incidents they have seen that are related to substance use and mental health disorders. As a result, we decided to use the forum to explore this topic and talk about resources that are available to youth and their families. Our panel of professionals and community members will speak about why prevention is so important and how we can best support our local youth. The panel will be followed by a Q&A session with the speakers and a free Narcan training.
Narcan training is free but rsvp is required to participate
