Join us for a candid conversation on:
Why emancipated foster youth are vulnerable to substance use, incarceration, and human trafficking.
How foster children have become one of the most marginalized communities.
What you can do to support foster children's success.
Welcome to NAMI Orange County's Hope in Recovery!
This new forum is focused on the intersection of substance use and mental health. Our vision is to bring together people with lived experience, family members, and treatment and community providers to encourage a sense of agency and provide resources to our community that have the power to save lives and inspire hope.
The forums will be set around these three values:
Agency (An individual's capacity to determine their own future)
Access (providing resources to encourage self advocacy
Support (giving hope to peers and family members affected by substance abuse and mental health).
