A mom’s perspective. That’s the subject of tonight’s community discussion surrounding addiction.

The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. in the Cargill Room.

The forum will feature three mothers, all with unique experiences with addiction involving their sons.

Cheryl Hancock with Coulee Council says addictions affect more than just the individual.

“It’s a whole family that’s impacted,” she said. “We receive, at Coulee Council, as many calls from family members looking for ways to help and support their loved ones as we do individual looking for recovery.”

The gathering will be informal. It can be watched at MWFBroadcasting.com or on the MWFB Facebook page here.
