REACH Council

REACH had the opportunity to participate in the Christmas in Red Oak Event this weekend. Many thanks to all that stopped by our booth to play the Grinch Bean Bag Toss activity and who followed us on social media!

The holidays can bring tough triggers for alcohol or other substance use—but you don’t have to face them alone. Help is available if you would like support with your recovery: samhsa.gov/find-help
