One of our Programs

Opioid & addiction awareness

  

Started in 2019. the purpose of the Community Connections Initiative is to generate awareness in our clubs and our communities by providing educational sessions with leading experts in the areas of Mental Health & SUD (Substance use Disorder).


Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health issues have dramatically increased.  4 in 10 adults in the U.S. have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder during the pandemic.  Suicides and overdoses are on the rise.


The Stigma Free Group plans  to hold annual Awareness Walks in October (October 10 is World Mental Health Day) and in May (World Mental Health Month).


The Group also offers training for Mental First Aid, administering Naloxone, and QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Three steps anyone can learn to help prevent suicide.


Zoom presentations cover an overview of Mental First Aid training, an overview of Naloxone training, Vaping, and being Stigma Free. In person events can also be scheduled.


Our clubs' goal is to eliminate stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorders through education and creating awareness. The clubs create working relationships with its communities and counties to help people overcome resistance to seeking help by eliminating the stigma that often makes people feel overwhelmed. To learn more about the Stigma-Free initiative, please contact Ray Freaney at rayfreaney@gmail.com..
