Thank you to all those who attended our event, you are the ones who made it special. A big shout out to all our speakers and exhibitors who shared inspiring and heartfelt stories about past addiction. There was also a lot of talk surrounding resources available to help individuals and families in need. We wanted to take a second to share the kind words of Norfolk County Sherriff’s office who attended our event.
