Breaking the Silence, April 21
|
Addiction does not discriminate. It does not care about your social status, racial background or religion. It touches everyone in our society, workplaces, churches, and homes, in one form or another. "Breaking the Silence" will examine the stigmas and fallacies that surround the issue of addiction, then explore ways to find release and renewal that leads to a better way of living, in a safe and caring environment.
