Information for Conference Grassroots Organizations / Providers

Is your organization interested in providing an information table at this event?

Many programs and efforts by great organizations have been educating and providing valuable information on the potential dangers of opioids, and the life altering effects the drugs have on the addict’s and their loved ones’ lives. This crisis continues to devastate so many families and communities, both emotionally and financially, in Schuylkill County and beyond.

Penn State Schuylkill and Lehigh Valley Hospital - Schuylkill have partnered to organize a wellness conference entitled, OPIOIDS: The Crisis Next Door - The Facts, The Signs, The Resources, which will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019, at Penn State Schuylkill.

We are inviting grassroots organizations and local care providers to be part of the 2019 Wellness Conference. Any organizations or providers interested in having an information table as well as a representative(s) available during the day of the event from noon to 4:00 p.m. to answer questions and offer guidance and assistance to those seeking help and support can commit to the conference here.
