I just wanted to pass this information forward to you.  A small grass root group of women that have survived domestic violence called " Freedom Sisters" is having a conference called " Supporting Voices of the North.  Pam Cross and speakers from  CAST, have an excellent message that can and will change some false perceptions of individuals who suffer from addictions/mental health and who believe there is no tomorrow.

Please forward this email to your contacts who would be interested in learning how this opportunity can help their career when working with individuals who suffer from oppression.

Thank you and Kind Regards
