Community Education Series

Since 2015, each spring and fall Howard Center offers its free and open to the public community education series on a wide range of topics related to mental health, substance use and recovery, and developmental disabilities. The series is designed to provide education, reduce stigma, and offer opportunity for discussion around topics like, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, Autism, safe injection sites, and many others. Presentations and film screenings are held at Dealer.com in the KB Theater or at Main Street Landing’s Film House. Thanks to our sponsors Dealer.com and Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM).

The Community Education Series archive is a video collection of all presentations since 2015. Thanks to Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM) for their work to ensure our presentations are available for future use and viewing.
