Interfaith forum will focus on recovery from substance abuse
Addiction and recovery impacts all of us, and the interfaith community plays an important role in recovery from substance misuse.
The Oak Ridge Recovery Interfaith Forum will bring together faith leaders and community organizations across Anderson County. ASAP of Anderson partnered with the Child Advocacy Center of Anderson County, First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge, Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church, and United Way of Anderson County to plan and organize the forum.
The event is from 6 - 8 p.m. July 9 at Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church. The address for the church is 809 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
Attendees at the forum will learn about the
• roles the faith community can have in recovery from substance misuse,
• how the psychological pathways in the brain affect addiction and recovery,
• and what local and regional resources are already in place.
The Oak Ridge Recovery Interfaith Forum is open to the general public, and community members passionate about recovery and substance misuse prevention are encouraged to attend.
