Paige and Erin are joined by two featured youth, Demitri and Grace to talk about how being a member of a faith based community has helped them live a drug free life. To help us understand faith, Father A., one of the faith leaders at St. Anna Greek Orthodox Church, joins us.
A special thank you to our partner for this episode One Voice of Hunterdon County. One Voice of Hunterdon is a community coalition that uses collaboration with faith communities to address social issues. The Mission of One Voice is to bring together law enforcement and community partners with local faith communities in order to have “one voice” to address substance misuse prevention & recovery, especially for youth and other pressing issues that affect the health and safety of the community. The Primary Focus of One Voice is to utilize the protective factor of faith to prevent youth substance misuse.
