CRMC Calendar: Drug Awareness, Prevention & Education

WHAT: Capital Region Medical Center is hosting two special events on drug awareness, prevention and education with the Anne Marie Project. 

WHO: Speaking at these events is Coach Jim Marshall of Cody's Gift. 

As a parent/educator/coach for the past 30+ years, Jim Marshall has impacted more lives than he can count. He speaks to not only students but to parents and other adults about the death of his son, Cody and how they too can help others seek help with drug addiction. His presentation gives up to date statistics on the drug use in Missouri as well as the signs to recognize when a person is becoming dependent on drugs. Jim believes that a lack of knowledge and information on the prevalence of drug abuse amongst our youth has contributed to the poor choices made by our youth. Every adult needs to be informed, and Jim can deliver the truth very profoundly. 

WHEN: October 4, 2018, from 12:00 - 1:00 PM

        October 16, 2018, from 7:00 - 8:00 PM

WHERE: October 4 event will be held in the Oakview Room of Capital Region Southwest Campus, 1432 Southwest Blvd. October 16 event will be held in the Tunnell/Wherritt Community Room of Capital Region Medical Center, 1125 Madison St.
