Carrying the Work Forward
The Health Department and the Alcohol & Substance Abuse Program exist to walk with you, not just when something goes wrong, but in every season. Rites of passage, women's gatherings, diabetes education, and traditional food all weave into the same fabric: a community that takes care of its own.
If a particular event speaks to you, or if you know a relative who would benefit, reach out. Share this calendar. Bring someone with you.
