Lassen County Behavioral Heath will be sponsoring a free event on April 1st at Lassen Community College geared towards providing college students with ‘opportunities for recovery’ as part of National Alcohol Awareness month.
Founded and sponsored by National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Alcohol Awareness Month was established in 1987 to help reduce the stigma so often associated with alcoholism by encouraging communities to reach out to the American public each April with information about alcohol, alcoholism and recovery.
Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease, genetically predisposed and fatal if untreated. However people can and do recover. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 20 million individuals and family members are living lives in recovery.
The ‘Connect the Dots’ event will be held in the college’s Student Union Building from 6:00 to 9:00p.m. and will feature trivia, food, raffle prizes, gift cards, a grand prize and guest speakers.
