Hattie Vance, the RSAT Aftercare Coordinator with the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, will bring the presentation which will consist of people giving their testimonies with stories of addiction, incarceration, and recovery.

The mission of the program is to show people how easy it is to get off track in life by making wrong choices and how those wrong choices can have lasting effects. Those who attend the lunch-and-learn will learn ways to prevent and overcome drug abuse.
All are invited to bring their lunch and enjoy this free presentation.
