Join Freedom Behavioral Health Collaborative for a pop-up vigil and resource handout in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day at Freedom International Outreach Ministries. Community members are welcome to stop by for free harm reduction supplies, overdose education, behavioral health support, or simply to take a moment to honor someone lost to overdose.
Attendees can pick up free harm reduction kits on-site, including Narcan, drug supply testing kits, and information on overdose prevention, response, and Good Samaritan laws.
Staff will be available throughout the event to walk attendees through recognizing overdose symptoms and administering Narcan. Attendees can also connect with FBHC for behavioral health support, including screenings, brief counseling, and connections to community resources.
A remembrance table will be available throughout the event, where attendees can add the name of a loved one, leave a photo, or small item in their memory. Spiritual support will also be available upon request.

(Starting September 2026)
Join us weekly for Finding Freedom, clinician-led support groups dedicated to promoting behavioral wellness in our community. Each week offers a welcoming space to connect, share, and find support, with a different focus. Come for the topic that speaks to you—or join us throughout the month.
Emotions can feel overwhelming, especially during stressful or difficult seasons of life. This session focuses on understanding what you’re feeling and building practical tools to cope, regain balance, and care for yourself.
Our relationships shape our daily life in ways we don't always notice. And love alone doesn’t always make relationships healthy. This session explores building healthy boundaries, trust, and communication in our relationships with partners, family, friends, and others in our lives.
Recovery is an ongoing process, and no one has to navigate it alone. This session focuses on recognizing early warning signs, identifying what helps you stay grounded, and building a plan with encouragement and support from the group.
Grief can come from many kinds of loss—including the loss of loved ones, relationships, routines, opportunities, or a former version of ourselves. This session creates space to acknowledge those losses, support one another, and talk about moving forward.
Meaning and purpose look different for everyone. Open to people of any faith, spiritual tradition, or none at all, this session explores what gives you strength, keeps you grounded, and supports you in moving forward.
