Please RSVP - Stigmatic
Join Barry Schmidt for a viewing and dialogue of Stigmatic. This feature-length documentary explores the crisis from its origins to its present scope. "Stigmatic: Our Opioid Crisis" is composed of interviews with those impacted by opiates, including law enforcement, medical professionals, and people in recovery. Their frank discussions highlight disagreements inside the activities community over controversial new strategies to combat the opioate epidemic. Each diverse perspective points to an undeniable obstacle at the center of the crisis: stigma.
2 Additional CEU's offered for attending this event.

RAISE Painting Party!
The story: A couple of years ago, there was a request from the local Recovery Community to have activities that were fun, relaxing, and not centered around alcohol. This request paved the way for Recovery Painting, a painting class hosted in a local coffee shop, open to people in recovery and their supporters. Consider joining us to experience this as a participant. No artistic experience or talent needed!!
RSVP - the first 40 people will be IN!
