Substance Abuse Addressed At Spoon River College

VIDEO – SHARE ’TIL IT HURTS –

April 13, 2022 – “These kids are struggling,” Ryan said. “Depression, thinking of suicide, we need more resources but we need to talk about it. People need HOPE. People need purpose and connection and it ain’t just someone to believe in them. I believe in you, you believe in me, we do this together.”

Attendants said this event was an important to address since many Tri-State areas are lacking in resources.

Letha Michelle Dennison, an attendant, shared her journey with her peers in a panel discussion.

“I was what everybody considered to be a lost cause,” Dennison said. “And now I work in a recovery setting helping people as a peer.”
