5th Annual JHW Foundation Classic Golf Tournament

Our son Henry attended St. Chris for 13 years. In high school, he had a football injury and was put opioids that lead him down the road of addiction. He died from an overdose in 2010 when he was 21. We started the JHW Foundation in his memory to help other young adults with substance use disorders. We are hoping you all will consider joining us as a community partner by supporting our golf tournament.

 The JHW 5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament in Memory of Henry Watkins is Monday, June 10th at Richmond Country Club. All proceeds benefit Virginia Collegiate Recovery Programs at VCU, UVA, VT, W&L, University of Richmond, Longwood, Radford, Mary Washington, Lynchburg, and Young Adults in Recovery.

Dr. Abubaker talk on "Compassion in Addiction" & the Opioid Epidemic

Opioid addiction is coming to public consciousness as an epidemic in our country.  Dr. Omar Abubaker is one of the most passionate advocates for rethinking the way health care providers use these drugs, and for compassionate treatment for those who become addicted. Dr. Abubaker was recently featured in STAT, a newsletter for those in the health professions, discussing this crisis. 

He will speak at St. Stephen's November 9 on "Compassion in Addiction." Since losing his son to opioid addiction in 2014, this VCU faculty member has made it his mission to learn everything he can about addiction. He will discuss this tragic epidemic, changing the way pain management is approached and the importance of compassion when dealing with those struggling with addiction. This talk is designed to provide an understanding of the importance of compassion in addiction, not only to those touched by substance abuse, but those with little knowledge of it. 

 There is no charge to attend. Follow this link to sign up.
