The Holy Family Parish Pastoral Council is sponsoring two important sessions that impact families in the Poland and Mahoning County areas.
On May 8 from 7-9 p.m., a panel discussion on Addiction Awareness will take place in the Holy Family Parish Center.
The Addiction Awareness panel will include Mahoning County Juvenile Court Judge Theresa Dellick; Todd Marian, COO of Help Hotline; Carolyn Givens, Executive Director of Neil Kennedy Recovery Clinic; Dr. Sitarik of Gateway Rehabilitation Center and Bob Hannon, President of the Youngstown-Mahoning Valley United Way.
On May 22 from 7-9 p.m., members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will present a program on Human Trafficking Awareness. This program will also take place in the Holy Family Parish Center.
Both sessions are free and open to the public. Questions for panel members will be accepted during the presentations. Questions submitted anonymously will also be accepted and addressed as time permits. Doors will open for both sessions at 6:45 p.m.
Considering the subject matter, both sessions are targeted to participants 18-years of age and older.
The problems of addiction and human trafficking are very serious issues confronting many families. Both panels will delve into the magnitude of each problem, how to recognize a victim, steps to take to address the situation and the programs offered for those impacted.
