Opioid Impacts on the Family, Helping Struggling Teens with Doug Cwienk and Jacob Riley
Doug Cwienk used his strong background in science to help his son by learning about the changes that take place in your brain as a result of addiction. When Doug realized how significant this information was and how little is known about it by the general public, he decided to spread this knowledge. He and his son, Nate, intended to work together, but unfortunately Nate died of an overdose in 2017. So, Doug now speaks on the science and the experience that Nate went through.
Jacob Riley, who lost his brother to an overdose, will share out of his family experience.
Call Pastors Richard or Mary for more information at 717-969-0019 (Richard) or 717-660-8100 (Mary). There will be some breakout session that will be provided for interaction and support as well as refreshments and prayer as well!
