SUMMARY:THC Inc. Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 5 at 6:30 PM\, the Alison Tobey Smart Fund at Kenilworth Union Church will be showing a powerful documentary\, THC Inc.\, detailing how Marijuana legalization and marketing are creating serious risks for our youth. \nAfter the screening\, local experts in addiction and mental health will lead a panel discussion on what we can do about it\, followed by Q&A. The panel will include NAMI CCNS Board Member Dr. Matt Filippo. \nThe legalization and marketing of today’s cannabis have led to products that can be thirty times more potent in THC concentrations than several decades ago. Please join them for a film featuring the first-hand perspectives of experts in the field and the stories of youth who’ve fought cannabis use disorder. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the risks of today’s cannabis\, as well as solutions and local prevention and treatment resources to turn to for help. \n  \nRegister for the event here. \n

SUMMARY:Family Insight Evenings
DESCRIPTION:Family Insight Evenings\nFamily Insight Evenings is a monthly group that provides support and education to adult family members of individuals affected by mental illness. It offers opportunities to learn and practice skills to better support ill family members\, meet others who understand\, and share insights in a structured environment. \nOur Family-to-Family teachers will lead the group. This group is open to adults who have participated in NAMI Family-to-Family or NAMI Family Support Groups. No Registration Required. \nDate: November 4\, 2026 \nTime: 6:00 – 7:45 PM \nWhere: Turning Point (8324 Skokie Blvd\, Room 180\, Skokie\, IL 60077) \nTopic: Mental Health and Co-occurring Substance Use\nCome join us for a conversation centered around mental health and co-occurring substance use\, and speak with two very knowledgeable professionals on the topic. \nJess Jacobsen will provide his personal story and lived experience in dealing with mental health challenges and substance use addiction\, otherwise known as dual diagnosis. Jess will share how those issues manifest in his life\, how he has learned to recover\, and how he has built a productive\, fulfilling life. \nMatthew Frank will further elaborate on the realities of dual diagnosis through the lens of professional experience as well as pertinent topics related to treating dual diagnosis\, such as abstinence vs. harm reduction\, helping struggling loved ones who don’t want help\, and stigma. \nFor the rest of the time\, Jess and Matt will answer your questions. \nSpeakers\n\nMatthew Frank is a licensed clinical social worker\, certified alcohol and other drug counselor\, and founder of Unity Counseling\, PLLC. After earning an undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology\, Matt worked for NSSRA\, which informed his decision to pursue a career in social work. During his master’s program at Loyola University in Chicago\, Matt interned for the public defender’s office\, urging judges to consider treatment during a defendant’s sentencing when mental health was a significant factor.\nJess Jacobson earned his Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at DePaul University and is a licensed clinical mental health counselor at the Josselyn Center — a community-based mental health center. Jess grew up with mental health struggles\, which led to his substance use. Jess’ lived experience with these challenges and recovery inspired his career as a mental health counselor in order to help others with the same challenges. Jess is a mental health advocate\, NAMI speaker\, and active AA member.
