This is a meeting of the South Florida Center for Independent Living and organization that deals with people with physical or mental disabilities or impairments. They are calling for the help that they may offer businesses in our community to make services available.

Am concern  that we should make people aware of the problems that exist in the mental health but specially in the substance use treatment facilities. Abuses and lack of real treatment.
