Chicago, Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center is partnering with the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club to offer a series of free mental health workshops during the 2022-23 school year.
“We’re proud to partner and collaborate with the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club,” said Sarah Sadkowski, LCPC, CEO of Timberline Knolls. “Raising awareness and offering these workshops can help educate the public about mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding getting help.

The sessions, which begin in late September and continue until May, will take place at the Lemont Public Library or a Lemont-Bromberek School District 113A building. They are open to any interested members of the community.
The workshops will cover a variety of topics, including presentations on healthy eating, drug use and access to treatment services, internet safety, and yoga. Timberline Knolls will provide free dinner, and the Lemont Juniorettes will offer free child care at each session.
