Breaking the Cycle of Addiction:
The Evansville Police Department Meth Suppression Unit and the Vanderburgh County Prosecutors Office have teamed up to break the cycle of drug addiction in families in our community.
This week, 20 kids have been invited to attend a camp at USI. The “My Goals Camp” is designed to help them overcome some of the challenges associated with being raised by parents that are battling drug addiction. Most of the kids come from homes where one or both parents have been arrested for meth charges.
The camp is a chance for us to reach out to these kids and show them they are not forgotten or alone. The activities for the campers are designed to empower them to make positive choices and provide them with positive influences in their lives.
