Screening, Intervening and Referring for Alcohol Problems: Tools and Strategies for Faith Communities

The National Association for Children of Alcoholics, is offering a free webinar on Screening, Intervening and Referring for Alcohol Problems, especially as it relates to caring for our own faith communities. Unfortunately, substance abuse affects almost all of our families, but as a caring church community we can support each other. I hope you’ll join me and NACoA next Tuesday, August 23, 2016 at 1:00-2:00 PM ET (12CT/11MT/10PT) to learn more.
