The goal of the speaker series is to highlight important topics like drug misuse and mental health. The series will bring specialists in these fields who will speak on mindfulness, mental health, fentanyl use and neurology.
The speaker series is also a way to introduce CV Cares to the community. CV Cares/Coalition was awarded a grant by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that confirms its status as a drug free community program.
