Butler County Community College will host its second ‘Hope Night’ to encourage recovery from opioid addiction.
The free public event will be held on Monday, Jan. 28 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Butler Art Center downtown.
The goal of ‘Hope Night’ is to provide endorphin-sparking activities.
The creation of the event was the result of BC3’s “Reset Your Brain” initiative, which focuses on opioid addiction, recovery and quality of life.
The first ‘Hope Night’ was held in December and focused on music and art. Next week’s event will focus on laughter.
BC3’s “Hope is Dope” program is based on a 2016 book by Steve Treu, a licensed therapist with Quantum Revolution Counseling, who teaches the courses and has said that his methodology in treating opioid addiction incorporates physical, mental or spiritual skills that trigger the brain’s reproduction of endorphins and create “a natural high.”
Washboard Tony’s Tony Frochio and Rob Verone will provide uplifting music at Hope Night and the Pioneer Players, BC3’s theater group, will perform skits. Light refreshments will be served, and admission is free.
