When individuals or families are impacted by substance or gambling problems, often they first turn to their community of faith. The goal of the conference is to equip clergy, chaplains, laity, Stephens Ministers, Parish Nurses, and Health Care Team Members to respond to these needs. The goal of the conference is to increase awareness of what prevention is, what treatment is, what recovery supports are available, what resources are available to support and provide guidance to those who experience substance or gambling problems, and how to advocate for effective public policy.
