The Wabash County Drug Steering Committee, Prevention Subcommittee, will be hosting an Addictions Impact Panel at the Honeywell Center in the Ford Theatre on June 5, 2021. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. to the public. Resource tables and local community partners will be available in the lobby. The panel will begin at 7:00 p.m. The event will include local community members who will be speaking about their personal experiences with addiction and how it has affected them. Community partners will also be present to share information, resources, and support before and after the event.
Panelists at the event will be Shawn Light and Katina Schram. Both speakers have been personally affected by addiction and want to share their stories hoping to spread an important message about substance abuse. The Master of Ceremonies will be Shane Chellis, Student Chaplin at White’s Residential and Family Services, who will also share his story.
The Prevention Committee hopes this event provides hope to those dealing with the issue of addiction – whether it is personally dealing with addiction, a family member, or friend who is struggling. We hope that you will come out and join us for the event. There will even be door prizes for some lucky attendees! (Gift cards to local businesses.)
This event has been created by the Wabash County Drug Steering Committee, Prevention Subcommittee, and is being sponsored by the Indiana Department of Child Services and Parkview Wabash Hospital in partnership with the Community Health Improvement Program.
We hope to see you there!
