Recovery Month - Friday, 9/18, Lawn Sign & Narcan Kit distributions

In honor of Recovery Month please join the Reading Coalition for Prevention & Support in celebrating those in recovery and spreading awareness about substance use disorders and treatment options.

 National Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to educate the public that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives.

 On Friday September 18th we invite residents to drive by the Town Hall Parking Lot, located at 16 Lowell Street, between 11:30AM-1:00PM to collect a free Recovery Month Lawn Sign to display in their yard. Additionally, a limited number of Narcan dose kits will be available. Any resident who is interested in receiving a Narcan dose kit will receive on-site Narcan training. Available while supplies last.

 During this drive-by event, Coalition staff will be masked and practicing social distancing. Participants in event are expected to follow current safety precautions to minimize COVID-19 risk.

 If you have questions, or are interested in receiving a Lawn Sign but are unable to participate in the drive by event and need to schedule an alternative pick-up time, please contact Coalition Outreach Coordinator Samantha Salkin at ssalkin@ci.reading.ma.us.
