The rally will offer HIV and hepatitis C testing, free food, music, and access to mental health and recovery resources. Well, there's a big stigma on addiction to start with because, you know, small towns, they think if you're addicted, then you're no good for life. And then September is recovery month and we've just went through the flood and there's a lot of people dealing with depression and anxiety, displacement and all that. And to show, to be able to come and have access to different resources to help them just kind of like talk to somebody that's qualified. You know, just somebody that's actually gonna say and listen to their story and tell how they're doing and not necessarily do anything, just be a year to listen. In 2021, 2,250 Kentuckians died from drug overdoses, a 14.5% increase from 2020. Mountain Comprehensive Care Center's mission is to provide quality behavioral health care that offers recovery and hope to those struggling with addiction. Well, here at Mountain Com, we offer mental health, we offer ILP substance abuse counseling, we offer outpatient therapy and just different resources to be able. We've got a nurse practitioner to help people if they need certain things. And there's just resources that, like you've got LKLP that helps, you've got Goodwill that helps that people just don't know that they're there to just be able to help them with like furniture, cars, mental health, substance abuse, getting them into meetings, getting them housed and stuff like that. But I mean, that's what I'm trying to do. That's what the rally was about, was bringing all these resources in one place to be like, hey look, if you need it, give me a call. The recovery rally is free to attend and will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, September 2nd at the Heinman Settlement School.
