Register for Our Dec. 15 Webinar!
In an effort to collaborate with the faith community, the Southeast PTTC is hosting a webinar this month that will provide participants with a broad overview of the issues of faith and spirituality as protective factors, outline the significant assets religious organizations possess, and describe how they can be mobilized to reduce substance misuse.
 
We will discuss effective and innovative strategies for engaging faith leaders in prevention efforts. The 90-minute webinar, scheduled on December 15 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET, will provide insights about challenges working with faith communities and successful partnerships.
National Guard Webinar – Now On-Demand
Last month, we hosted a 90-minute webinar to highlight community-level collaborative approaches for substance misuse prevention in and surrounding the military community.
 
Our southeast region has a strong history of military service. With an expert panel, including National Guard officers and prevention experts, we learned about the Guard and their unique culture and challenges to determine the best prevention opportunities for that community.

The National Guard can help with planning and support for community-based organizations through their Drug Demand Reduction Outreach Program. Sharing prevention resources with National Guard service members can improve their readiness, enhance retention, strengthen military families, improve mental health, reduce risk factors, and strengthen community cohesion.
Celebrating the Holidays Safely
While this holiday season looks a bit different than 2020, there is still need for caution as you safely gather with friends and family. Last year, many of us celebrated virtually with friends and family near and far. This year, thanks to vaccines and more knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic, we are more prepared and better equipped.

Experts advise to do all you can to keep everyone safe and remember the people you are trying to protect. That means staying masked when in public prior to the holidays, getting vaccinated or receiving booster shots, and even considering having everyone take a test prior to visiting. Remember, you reduce your risk of severe infection and hospitalization with a COVID vaccine.
Happy Holidays!
From all of us at Southeast PTTC, we wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season, with hope, health, and happiness in 2022.
