The series is part of a five-year $1.25 million Partnership for Success Grant that CPS was awarded and that will serve the needs of those in Stanly. The grant will run through Sept. 20, 2024.
The first program will be from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday on the teleconferencing tool Zoom and will focus on substance use prevention strategies among youth. The speaker will be CPS grant manager Neetu Verma. The last 15 minutes will be reserved for questions.
“We really want people to show up,” Verma said.
There will be one to two programs per month.
