NEA Divine Intervention Peer Community Center is excited to bring to you our 2nd Annual "Together We Can" Conference. An Empowering and Informative event designed to Stop the Stigma associated with Mental Illness and Addiction. As our society grows more tolerant of a broader acceptance of social norms and the number of people struggling with mental illness and addiction, climbing at alarming rates, the stigma still remains. They often say, "It takes a village to raise a child" and it will take a community working together to change this mindset that has been further crippling individuals and often preventing them from seeking treatment.Shalinda Woolbright, Executive Director of Divine Intervention has put together an amazing panel of leading experts in their fields to educate, inform and answer those difficult questions most people seldom have the courage to ask.
Addiction impacts not just the life of the person struggling in the life controlling behavior but it affects everyone around them. You will also experience the all but to real personal journey's, of others who lives will forever be changed, due to addiction touching their life in a powerful way.
