Join us at the 2019 Mayors’ All4Knox Summit where we will connect numerous community sectors and design meaningful solutions to address substance misuse as one community.

Following the guidance set forth by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a national substance misuse prevention agency, we will divide the community into sectors to design strategies for each group. The strategies the sectors create will support an overarching, communitywide plan to reverse this epidemic. The sector teams will begin their work at the 2019 Summit.

Sectors Include

  • Business
  • Nonprofit and Service Organizations
  • Government
  • Healthcare
  • Justice Systems
  • Family and Community
  • Education
  • Faith-Based
  • Treatment, Recovery and Harm Reduction

 

When: August 2 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
