For the past two years, the Lamb County Leaf Coalition - Hooked on Hope - has partnered with Lamb County 4-H members to organize a day camp for Littlefield children to give them a drug-free option for a couple of days in the summer. The camps have hands-on activities that are an alternative to participating in potentially harmful events otherwise. Kim Clardy, director of Hooked on Hope, will explain the process of organizing the day camp and answer questions if you'd like to plan your own event for your community.

Mental health is such an important topic that many avoided talking about for years. The COVID pandemic increased the need for more discussion and sharing of important resources to get help. Join us at the SUMMIT to learn what signs to look for and and where to get help if you need or someone you care about needs help with their mental health. Experts from the TTU Health Sciences Center will be leading this session.
