Upcoming presentations of Hidden In Plain Sight

 

MOUNT VERNON – The Knox Substance Abuse Action Team (KSAAT) in partnership with Knox Community Hospital will offer Hidden in Plain Sight presentations during July.

The presentation features a staged bedroom with more than 100 items that are hidden in plain sight. Attendees at earlier presentations have indicated an increased awareness in their understanding of items associated with alcohol and other drug use.
