A full room, real questions, and families who left with hope! 😃🙏🙏🙏
Last week, families across the Valley joined us for our FREE Understanding Addiction event, presented in both English and Spanish, to finally get a real understanding of what addiction actually is and what the solution is.
Together we walked through the science of addiction, how to recognize the signs in someone you love, what real recovery looks like, and where to find help right here in our community. The conversations were honest, the questions were real, and families left equipped to help the people they love most.
A heartfelt thank you to our partners, Ellie Torres and Hidalgo County Precinct 4, and to DA Terry Palacios for speaking openly about the real dangers of addiction, especially among our youth.
Because no one should face a loved one's addiction alone!
