The Elk Grove Village Police Department invites you to join EGV Cares and the Kenneth Young Center for "Remember. Recover. Discover." a community awareness event to reduce stigma, increase knowledge, and provide recovery support for substance misuse, adverse mental health, co-occurring trauma and addictive behaviors. The event will take place on Saturday, September 18, 2021 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at Kenneth Young Center, 1001 Rohlwing Road, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007. Register at no cost on here.  

The CDC provisional data reported over 93,000 overdose deaths in the US in 2020 and more than three-quarters were attributed to opioids. Now more than ever, our community must come together with compassion and commitment to prevent more lives from being lost to the overdose crisis and opioid addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, the Elk Grove Village Cares Program is here to help. EGV Cares aims to make it easier for those suffering from addiction to access and remain in treatment, to strengthen the community support network, and to eradicate the stigma of opioid addiction.
