Opiate hotline 1-833-2FINDHELP, we would like to add it to our webpage and to
have cards for our resource table
Jackie attended the Glenbard Parenting Networking luncheon, well done
networking event.
Chris Heron is returning to the area next week to present “Parents I have a
Message for You”. Jackie will attend to determine if this is a new presentation.
Author of “13 Reasons” is available to be a speaker in the fall. Promotes
awareness, but does it glorify suicide? We would like to focus on substance
abuse.
Jan and Joey will reach out to Gilda to explore speakers brought in by GPN, as
well as explore other outlets for our major fall speaker
Jan suggested “adjustment” as a possible topic, life stage transitions
Bob suggested we have a meeting with Elmhurst First Resonders
