Join us on April 25th to celebrate the people making a difference in the field of substance use in our community. The Spring Awards Luncheon has been an annual event since 1975, ten years after the agency came to be. The event is held each April, which is the annual Alcohol and Drug Awareness month.

This luncheon is an opportunity for substance use and other professionals to come together, network, and honor a few of its own. This is important because so many who toil in this field remain unsung heroes who pour their heart and soul into the work they do with little compensation or recognition.

"It was very informative and I learned more about the brain and how it's affected by substances. I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned in my everyday life."

“This program has been so good for my child. He learned a lot. His focus now will be doing better in school and working to save money. Thank you for all the support at a time that I didn’t know how to deal with this.”
