A faith-based non-profit in Texarkana is hosting a conference Today to address mental health and substance abuse challenges.
The Empowerment and Wellness Summit, sponsored by Bridging the Gaps of Arkansas, aims to break barriers in substance misuse awareness. The non-profit received a $100,000 state grant in 2023 to support addiction recovery efforts over four years.
The conference will feature three guest speakers discussing substance abuse trends, training, and warning signs. Organizers stress the importance of education in creating change.
The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Today at the Arkansas Convention Center in Texarkana. Registration details are available on Bridging the Gaps of Arkansas’ Facebook page.
