CSO EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
In addition to having access to addiction recovery programs, CSO advocates education, community and spiritual support, and healthcare and mental healthcare access, as vital to both substance use disorders prevention and recovery alike. From the outset, we have made it a priority to hold both schoolwide assemblies and classroom-sized presentations for students, community forums, monthly family support groups, and other community events in order to educate, support, and uplift our community. Below are some of the events we have hosted or contributed to.
Please see the CSO Calendar for upcoming Education and Outreach Events.
