Knoxville, Tenn. – All4Knox is hosting its second annual Recovery Housing and Resource Fair on Friday, April 24, at Fountain City United Methodist Church (212 Hotel Road).
The fair will be held from 9 a.m. – noon. Registration is not required, and the event is free and open to the public.
Organizations will be present to talk about local resources to help in the substance misuse recovery process.
“We are fortunate to have many treatment and recovery related programs here in Knoxville and Knox County, and it can often be daunting or confusing for some people to navigate these resources without help,” said Sharena Cathey, Substance Misuse Response Coordinator at the Knox County Health Department. “This fair is designed to make the process easier for folks and give them the opportunity to check out what recovery resources our area has to offer.”
Participating vendors at the fair will include employers known for giving individuals a second chance in the workforce, despite a criminal history; initiatives that help treat those with substance misuse; services that help support those in recovery; and Remote Area Medical Telehealth (medical services only, no vision or dental).
Since 2019, All4Knox has served as the joint City of Knoxville/Knox County substance misuse response initiative. Comprised of five implementation teams, All4Knox focuses on challenges and opportunities related to housing, judicial diversion, prevention and education, standardization of practice, and access to recovery for substance misuse.
