The St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren Tri-County area is currently experiencing an extremely dangerous epidemic of heroin and prescription painkiller abuse. As a result, our community has recorded hundreds of overdose deaths over the past several years. This forum is intended to provide helpful and useful information to proactively confront this situation and help stop the epidemic before it gets any worse.

This meeting is open to professionals, parents and students. Speakers will be on hand to address issues faced by the community, law enforcement, treatment and recovery. Area resource providers will be on hand to provide prevention information, as well as support group and treatment options for those who struggle.

For questions or more information, please call 636-940-3333 x 266 or 636-528-5821 x 231.
