Aug, 4, 2025

Join the conversation on public health, compassion, and community at Harm Reduction 101: Truth or Myth, Reducing Stigma, a free educational event taking place on Thursday, August 7th at 5:30 PM in the program room of the McIntosh Memorial Library.

A representative from Vivent Health will guide attendees through an open discussion about harm reduction—what it is, what it isn’t, and how it plays a vital role in supporting individuals affected by substance use. The session will tackle common myths, provide facts, and explore how stigma can create barriers to care and healing.

Whether you’re a concerned community member, a caregiver, or simply curious to learn more, this program will offer valuable insight into compassionate, evidence-based approaches that strengthen health and dignity for all.
