More on our speaker series
by hopeworkscommunity
We recently announced the beginning of our speaker series in Blount County sponsored by Maryville Nami. Our first speaker on March 20 will be Sita Diehl National Director of State Advocacy for Nami national. I am very excited today to announce our second speaker today. On April 24 Doug Varney Commissioner for Dept of Mental Health and Substance Abuse will be coming to speak in Maryville. Tentatively his topic will be the scourge of drug abuse, particularly prescription drugs and meth, their relationship to mental health issues and efforts by the state to address these issues. It should be a great and informative evening. Please do all you can to spread the word about both of these presentations.
