TTOR Helping Hands Ministry and TTOR Men’s Ministry cordially invite you to a FREE community training on opioid misuse and addiction.

In response to the increased opioid and stimulant usage by African Americans and Hispanics, we have joined with community and faith partners to help address the emerging threat to communities of color. We are excited to collaborate on the delivery of community training focused on addressing opioid misuse and addiction.
