Maine's Capital Area

In celebration of National Recovery Month, Kennebec Behavioral Health and the ROAR (Recovery & Opioid Addiction Resources) team will be hosting a Recovery & Opioid Addiction Rally & Community Forum in Skowhegan on Thursday, September 19th.  The event will begin at 5:30 PM at Coburn Park with a recovery vigil/walk to the Margaret Chase Smith School at 40 Heselton St. in Skowhegan. 

Following the walk will be a community forum and panel discussion – Treatment Works and Recovery Can Happen.  The panel will feature Gordon Smith, Director of Maine’s Opioid Response program.  After the forum, there will be a showing of the movie Heroin(e).  This Oscar-nominated film follows three women -- a fire chief, a judge and a street missionary -- battling West Virginia's devastating opioid epidemic.

Refreshments will be available to attendees from 6:30-7:00 PM at the Margaret Chase Smith School.  The ROAR Rally & Community Forum is sponsored and/or supported with appreciation by Redington-Fairview General Hospital, United Way of Mid-Maine, MaineGeneral Health, Somerset Public Health, KVCAP, High Hopes Clubhouse and the Margaret Chase Smith School.
