Mental health and substance use treatment providers from across East Texas are meeting in Longview next week, and the public is invited. The East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse holds its free East Texas Collaborative Summit on Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mobberly Baptist Church’s Crossing building, 625 E. Loop 281, the Marshall News Messenger reported.
What’s on the program
Sessions cover mental health and the justice system, long-term healing and stability, and the factors that raise or lower risk. The day ends with a panel on the future of behavioral health in East Texas. The goal is to connect providers across the council’s 23-county service area so they can refer people to the right help, said Michael Domingos, the council’s regional alignment coordinator.
Domingos said he hopes police officers, school counselors, principals and mental health workers will come. About 150 people had signed up as of the report.
