The Prevention and Recovery Ministry is dedicated to raising awareness and offering hope to individuals affected by substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and their families. Our mission is to break the stigma surrounding addiction, alcoholism, and mental health issues through education and support. By shedding light on the ongoing drug abuse crisis and the mental health struggles many face today, we strive to foster understanding and compassion.
To assist those in need, our Ministry has created a comprehensive brochure for pastors, church members, and local community members within the Mason-Dixon Ministerium. This resource provides valuable information on where to find help, including national and local hotlines and other critical support services. We have hosted Narcan and Suicide Prevention training sessions and distribute Narcan kits and drug deactivation units to help save lives, and protect our environment.
One of our core goals is to ensure that the churches within our Ministerium are welcoming, supportive, and safe spaces for individuals seeking help.Direct links to resources for those seeking assistance to overcome addiction, alcoholism, and curb mental health issues can be found on the right of this page and below.We are always in need of volunteers to assist with this vital ministry. Whether you’re looking to make a one-time contribution or commit to ongoing support, your time and generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.Join us in our mission to help those fighting addiction, alcoholism, and mental health issues and bring hope to their loved ones.
