CATSKILL — The Catskill Youth Clubhouse, an OASAS funded program of MHA of Columbia-Greene (MHACG), cordially invites the public from both Greene and Columbia counties to attend a Harm Reduction Heroes (HRH) Youth Leadership event 4-6 p.m. March 27 at the Youth and Recovery Center, 455 Main St., Catskill.
Community members of all ages are encouraged to attend the event and enjoy free refreshments and pizza. Several activities are planned: HRH youth presentations accompanied by photography and art exhibits, health and wellness information, and more. The goal of HRH Youth Leadership Team is to provide all people, especially youth, extensive drug education, harm reduction techniques, full Narcan® training including a free kit upon completion, and free fentanyl test strips.
“The Clubhouses in both Hudson and Catskill welcome all youth 12-17 and young adults 18+ who are in recovery, who are seeking recovery, who have been impacted by substance use disorder (SUD) or are allies. Through peer-driven activities, health, wellness, and long-term recovery are promoted and realized,” said Program Director Kai Hillmann.
