Addiction Professionals of North Carolina announces our collaborative partnership with Mount Vernon Christian Church (MVCC) in Clayton, NC to provide mental health awareness and education.
MVCC received a grant from the North Carolina Council of Churches Partners in Health and Wholeness (PHW) to support mental health awareness and education within Black & Brown, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) faith communities. The funding comes through Duke Endowment, which has awarded $10,000 to alleviate the enduring effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had across North Carolina.
Funds will support an educational campaign on mental health, suicide, and substance use prevention. The campaign will include a learning series that teaches churchgoers the necessary steps to access resources while tackling tough conversations surrounding mental health in the community. Each session will build upon knowledge from previous sessions.
