Every Kid At Risk: West County Drug Awareness

In an attempt to help our community with the growing drug problem, West County Fellowship is partnering with the Chesterfield Mayor's Office, the Chesterfield Police Department, the West County YMCA, CrossRoads Counseling and other organizations to create awareness, help parents and families engage with youth and work to keep them off drugs before we have more tragic stories. We will have a panel discussion with experts in the fields of law enforcement and counseling answering questions about how to recognize the dangers and help our kids stay off drugs. There will also be a fair in the lobby of the YMCA where as many as twenty local organizations will have tables offering help to families and educating people about how they might get involved in helping others.
