Volition Franklin collaborated with Ascension Health Care and the Franklin Health Department to host an educational event titled Mixed Messages? The Truth about Adolescent Drinking. This event was sponsored in part by a SAMHSA Communities Talk grant. The goal of this event was to educate parents on the potential harmful effects of alcohol on an adolescent to decrease youth underage drinking locally.
Three local physicians donated their time to speak at the event: Nathan Ferda, MD (Family Medicine), Gregory Kaftan, MD (Addiction Specialist), and CC Sharma, MD (Family Medicine).
