SOW opening ceremony

Spirit of Wellness month grew from what was known as National Addictions Awareness Week, which was usually held during the third full week of November. The prevention team at the time did an excellent job of organizing drug and alcohol free events, educational and recreational activities within that week. Soon the Kahnawake Addictions Awareness Month came about to envelope all the different activities that couldn’t be held in one week alone. The Sate’shen:naien program developed three goals for Kahnawake Addictions Awareness month which are:

1. To increase public awareness of the effects of addictions on self, family and community.
2. To actively involve the community in preventing addictions
3. To provide alternate activities and promote positive / healthy lifestyles within the community

Everyone is invited to attend the SOW opening.

• Where: KSCS main building lobby
• When: 11:00 AM–1:00 PM

For more information please call Leo Parent or Victoria Brascoup and the FWC at 450-638-0408
