The sixth annual Seeds of Hope dinner, taking place October 15, will show the promise of new life that can be reached through treatment for mental health and addictions. Money raised will go to support the LLU Behavioral Medicine Center’s scholarships for those who cannot afford treatment as well as support for patients and their care.
“This is a free, inspiring event where people will learn more about mental illness and substance abuse and how it can affect everyone as well as how it affects our community,” says Jill Pollock, administrator for the Behavioral Medicine Center. “Attendees will hear stories of hope that break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction and show how people can recover and live life to the fullest.”
The evening will feature two intertwining stories demonstrating how one person, whose life is changed through treatment, can influence and provide hope for other individuals and their families.
Seeds of Hope will take place October 15 at The Mitten Building in Redlands, beginning at 5:00 p.m. with a patient art exhibit, and dinner following at 6:00 p.m.
An RSVP is required to ensure there will be room for everyone. To make your reservation, please contact Jessica Rorick at (909) 558-3555 or jrorick@llu.edu by September 30.
