Impact Communities Navarro

We are doing community outreach this morning. Please let us know if you are in need and we will come to you.

Summer means more free time and outdoor events. Counterfeit pills and illicit drugs are often laced with deadly synthetic opioids like Fentanyl. Have open conversations with your kids about the dangers of drugs. Be safe this summer.

Cell phone drive through the end of the summer. Please consider donating your old phones with the chargers. You can drop them off at the Corsicana & Navarro County Chamber of Commerce

If your business could use a Narcan cabinet stocked with Narcan, please reach out to us.

Happy Memorial Day! Today, we honor the brave heroes who sacrificed everything for our freedom. Share a memory or a tribute below!

Today we launched our first Street Outreach Team. This group of volunteers went out into the community to bring resources, care coordination, prevention material, and compassion to the most vulnerable. Thank you North Texas Behavioral Health Authority The Salvation Army of Corsicana and other volunteers for making this happen.

During Prevention Week, we highlight the importance of family bonding as a key protective factor. Strong family connections help build healthier relationships, support mental well-being, and create a sense of safety and belonging. These simple practices can strengthen communication and deepen family connections:
-Sharing meals
-Maintaining routines
-Activities together (game nights, nature walks, or meaningful conversations)

Drug take back results across the country.
