A reminder - Tonight we are sponsoring the screening of Listen to the Silence at the Jane Pickens Theatre in Newport. The event is free. You can sign up for tickets on eventbrite - see below.
The film shares the compelling stories of several women who have experienced the challenges of the opioid crisis personally. The heart-wrenching stories will sound familiar- we have all been touched in one way or another by this epidemic.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with the award-winning film maker/documentarian, Debra Gonsher-Vinik; Rebecca Armstrong, a woman whose harrowing story of survival to thriving is feature in the film; BHDDH Administrator of Behavioral Health/Substance Use Conditions, Linda Mahoney, and Linda Hurley, President and CEO of CODAC Behavioral Healthcare.
Please join us for this vital community event!
