If you are in one of the 7
parish's included in the Capital Area Human Services District-
and would like to have your voice heard on Substance Abuse issues
for planning, please plan to attend! See details below, and
please call to confirm your attendance, or with any questions!
Dear Colleagues, Concerned Citizens and Elected
Officials,
On February 20, 2004 from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m.
we will be hosting a breakfast forum entitled “Addressing
Addictions: A Family Problem.” We will present information and
elicit your input in four topic areas: (1) Service Access, (2)
Gender Specific Services for Women, (3) Children and Families, and
(4) Co-Occurring Disorders.
This forum is designed to elicit input, to
explore solutions to issues relative to substance abuse, and to
discuss our current use of Federal substance abuse block grant
funding. Your input into this process is especially important to us
at Capital Area Human Services District, as making the community a
part of the planning and decision making process is a major focus of
our agency.
I know that substance abuse is a topic of great
interest to you, and it is because of your commitment to this
community that you are being invited to participate. Each of the
seven parishes comprising the District has identified substance
abuse as a leading problem. Each of these parishes has unique needs
in prevention and treatment that reflect their own demographics and
community values. Please join me and District staff to discuss what
you see as successes and unmet needs, and to help us be more focused
in partnership with you in our approach to this critical problem.
Time: February 20,
2004 7:30 – 9:30 a.m.
Place: Capital Area
Human Services District
4615
Government Street, 2nd Floor, Room 200
Baton
Rouge, LA 70806
Please RSVP to Barbara Morgan (225) 925-6729
if you will be able to attend. If you are unable to attend and
would like to share your input, please fax your comments to me on
the enclosed form at (225) 925-1987. Breakfast will be served from
7:30 – 8:00, with the discussion to begin at 8:00.
Sincerely,
Jan Kasofsky, PhD
