The Sober Circle- a community outreach program to engage alcohol abusers in treatment

Working together for access ,collaborative  agencies within Sonoma County, including the  Police Department , homeless service providers ,clinics, funders, hospitals and others , explored the development of a pathway for positive change for homeless who suffer from serial inebriation and related issues. This is a pilot project for a larger countywide solution committed to providing a wrap around system of care for those community members as an alternative to being cited  on “drunk in public” charges. This workshop focus's on our journey to program  implemetation and an invitation to share in lessons learned and take home process for your community.
