BUILDING RECOVERY SUPPORTS
United Way's capacity building trainings that were planned for the Spring of 2020 were delayed due to immediate and urgent needs surrounding COVID-19 as well as due to social distancing and safety concerns. We're thrilled to announce that our previously scheduled trainings will be provided over the summer. We have a virtual training on Building Recovery Supports scheduled for July 29th from 10am-12pm.
The training is in partnership with MAHEC so CEUs are attached to it.
It's free but you must register.
Kurtis Taylor, BSW, Executive Director of Alcohol Drug Council of North Carolina is the trainer for this event. We're excited to have Kurtis working with us again for this training opportunity. Those of you who've had the pleasure of participating in our prior workshops with Kurtis know that he's in long term recovery and he's a fierce and compassionate advocate for services and supports for those with substance use disorder and their families.

We understand the growing concern surrounding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) across our communities, and we are closely monitoring the threat. Many of you are concerned not only about the health of yourself and your families but the financial hardships you may face as a result of any prolonged work and event closures. United Way of Rutherford County is here to help you through the coronavirus crisis.
We work with a variety of community partners who can provide assistance should you experience financial hardship due to prolonged work stoppage or other effects of the coronavirus.
Our entire region is served by 2-1-1 which helps those in crisis access the community resources they need. You can dial 2-1-1 from any phone to be connected in your area.
United Way of Rutherford County needs your help to support community needs resulting from the economic impact of measures taken to stop the spread of this disease. Consider a donation today!
