One Voice Summit 2021 Re-Cap
The annual One Voice Summit was held on September 21 drawing 70 faith leaders, law enforcement and community partners together. "Prevention through the Lens of Faith" was the theme for the day, which included presentations on faith as a protective factor, the latest information on marijuana and Delta 8, and Empowering Language to de-stigmatize substance use disorder. Prosecutor Renee Robeson was in attendance to introduce herself to this coalition, which began in 2013 from a partnership with the prosecutors office and Safe Communities Coalition in order to bring faith leaders together to address needs of the community, with an emphasis on reducing youth substance misuse.
Information from this summit will be shared on One Voice weekend, October 22-24, 2021, where all faith leaders are encouraged to raise awareness about the harms of substance misuse and promote empowering language to reduce the stigma of substance use disorder.
