Prevention Insights, at the Indiana University School of Public Health, will be providing SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment) to all attendees. SBIRT is an evidence-based practice used to identify, reduce, and prevent problematic use, abuse and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs.
The faith community has the opportunity to not only transform the heart but also treat the symptoms. This starts with the willingness to pursue and love those whose lives have been affected by substance use disorder. The church must be willing and capable of seeing those struggling with this disease as a reflection of what they believe, no matter the persons current condition.
