Coalition on Addictions is a monthly event that provides a forum for networking, learning, and advocacy regarding the use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs. Participation is open to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the challenges and opportunities in addressing substance use.

This month’s Coalition on Addictions topic is “Time for a Change: The Role of Hope & Habits for Mental Wellness” by Julie Geeting with Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri.

In this seminar, we will take a fascinating look at how taking action can change our brain, our mood and our momentums.

One CEU contact hour certificate is available for $5.00.

 

 

This month’s COA will be a webinar hosted on Zoom. Attendees are welcome to join this virtual meeting at 11:45am for networking. The presentation will begin at 12pm.  Click here to register
