The public can sign up for workshops on either Friday or Saturday to learn about poverty.
On
Friday, the St. Joseph County Bridges Out of Poverty Initiative will
offer a workshop on the link between poverty, poor health and rising
health care costs and what can be done about it. This will be led by
Terie Dreussi-Smith, co-author of the book "Bridges Out of Poverty."
She's an expert in community alcohol and drug treatment and prevention.
It will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (registration starts at 8 a.m.) at the St. Vincent de Paul Society building at 520 Crescent Ave., South Bend, Indiana. Cost is $50 for materials,
refreshments and lunch. For questions, contact Bonnie Bazata at
sjcbridges@gmail.com or 574-339-1232.
On Saturday, Dreussi-Smith will lead a workshop as an introduction to Bridges Out of Poverty at the same time, place and price.
