The Marblehead Police Department would like to share that the Public Health Departments of Marblehead and Swampscott will be hosting a second free virtual community education series to foster understanding, reduce the stigma and strengthen community responses to substance use disorders.
Every other Thursday from June 4 to July 30, community members can participate in a six-week course that explores topics related to addiction and recovery, including conversations on defining and entering substance abuse recovery, pathways to recovery, and available support and resources.
The sessions, which are facilitated by Marblehead Police Department Co-Responder & Licensed Mental Health Clinician Gina Rabbitt and Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor Michelle Simons, are open to the public and aim to create a welcoming, judgement-free space for learning and discussion.
This is the second time the sessions have been offered. The first session, which was held in February, received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants.
