Events
When a loved one is struggling with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) it can be an overwhelming experience that affects relationships, health and even faith. Connecting with peers can make a difference.
LTM's monthly support group is open to family and friends of those struggling with misuse. We focus on sharing personal experiences and learning from each other in a compassionate and confidential environment. The meeting offers a way to enhance coping skills and self-care.
The support group is led by a licensed Clinical Social Worker.
In support of International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), the LTM Foundation along with the Bloomingdale and Glendale Heights Police Departments plan to host a community event to raise awareness about the dangers of drug misuse. Join us to learn what is being done to address this epidemic from our community leaders including Illinois State Rep. Deb Conroy, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, Lorraine Martin, National Safety Council President and CEO, and Felicia Miceli LTM Foundation President. Tour the Hidden in Plain Sight Trailer to discover common places teens hid drugs, learn how to administer life saving NARCAN, and speak with local resources that provide addiction related support. We will remember all those lost to this epidemic. Please bring a framed picture of your loved one to display at the memorial table.
