Free and Open to the Public
Let's talk about alcohol - again! This is a follow up conversation from our first conversation in late May during LCPH's two-day alcohol education campaign. Join us for an evening of important conversation, non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and community-building.
A non-alcoholic happy hour will begin at 5:30 PM in the large community room at Lewis and Clark Public Library, followed by a community conversation about alcohol use and misuse in our community from 6 PM - 7:15 PM.
This circle of conversation will be a judgement-free zone and group agreements will ensure the conversation remains productive. Volunteer community members and public health professionals will help lead and facilitate the conversation.
The purpose of this campaign is to not to promote abstinence, but to eliminate stigma around the conversation about alcohol, encourage moderation in its consumption by the general public, and to champion sobriety for our neighbors struggling with alcohol misuse, alcohol use disorder, or chemical dependency.
Knowledge is power. By shining a light on the topic of alcohol use and misuse, our hope is that residents in our community will feel empowered to make healthier choices for themselves and their families and be better able to lead healthier lives with the resources available to them in Lewis and Clark County and the State of Montana.
