Controlling alcohol and drug abuse

SHARON — "In Our Own Backyard: Alcohol and Drug Use, Abuse and Addiction" will be the focus of a panel discussion on April 12 at 7 p.m. at Sharon Hospital’s Four Trees Cafe.

 

The presentation is a collaboration of Sharon Hospital, Mountainside Treatment Center and The Housatonic Youth Service Bureau. It is designed for emergency first responders, social service providers, human resource specialists and community members of both Connecticut’s Northwest Corner and Dutchess County in New York.

The purpose of the forum is to sensitize providers of critical care to the particular issues of those affected by abuse and addiction. The panel will have representatives from the fields of medical, mental health, law enforcement (New York and Connecticut) and the growing recovery community on both sides of the state line. The general public is also welcome.

For more information, call Matt Eakin or Bill Simmons at Mountainside, 860-824-1397. There is no charge to attend; refreshments will be served.
