Judge Linda Davis To Speak At WCHS PAC
August 30, 2024 at 4:43 p.m.
Starting at 5 p.m. Thursday, at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center, the public is invited to an evening of dinner, learning and community support at the Communities Recover Together event.
This collaborative effort, supported by several community partners in Kosciusko County, invites the public to engage in how to address the issue of substance misuse, according to a provided news release.
The event will feature a keynote presentation by Judge Linda Davis, a distinguished figure in the fight against substance misuse. Davis brings a perspective as both a legal authority and a mother who has personally faced the challenges of substance misuse within her own family. With Judge Karin McGrath moderating and the panel of community members sharing local stories, this event will be both informative and deeply moving, the release states.
The dinner and opportunity to explore community resources will start at 5 p.m. with the keynote presentation followed by a Q&A session will start at 6 p.m.
“I believe the more we talk about substance misuse in our community, the less stigmatized it becomes. It’s very empowering to the individual and loved ones who are seeking help,” said Eric Lane, executive director and founder of Fellowship Missions.
The evening will begin with a complimentary dinner, allowing attendees to interact with local vendors and community organizations. This is a chance for people to connect with the area's resources and support systems. Following dinner and networking, Davis will share her journey and expertise on substance misuse, offering a supportive and hopeful perspective that combines her professional experience with her personal story. After her presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions for additional support.
Davis was appointed to the bench in 2000 and has since been an influential advocate in the fight against the opioid crisis. Her accolades include numerous awards from prestigious organizations such as the FBI and the Michigan Association of Treatment Court Professionals. She has served on various task forces and commissions, including Governor Snyder’s Opiate Task Force and President Trump's Opiate Task Force. Currently, she is the primary speaker for Families Against Narcotics (FAN) and actively engages with communities nationwide, stated the release.
