A Stark Conversation on Addiction: What you need to know as a parent

On October 10, join StarkMHAR and Stark Library at Kent State University at Stark for an open discussion with treatment providers, school personnel, law enforcement, and community leaders around increasing protective factors and watching for warning signs as you guide your child to adulthood. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A session. This event is free of charge; please register for planning purposes.

THINKBIG is a day of county-wide community conversations. Organized by Stark Community Foundation and Strengthening Stark, the inaugural event is designed to give residents a voice and bring people together to brainstorm solutions to community needs while celebrating the good in Stark County. Anyone who lives, works, learns and plays in Stark County is encouraged to attend a conversation on October 25!

Join us for a discussion as David Sheff talks about his book, B eautiful Boy , and shares his family's story of helping their son overcome drug addiction. Followed by Q&A and book signing.
