Drug Addiction

Phil Jacobs’ Oct. 9 article “Party In The Park,” dedicated to raising funds for the Nikki Perlow Foundation described how one family has channeled its own tragic loss into a commitment to save the lives of others affected by drug addiction. Jewish Community Services is proud to partner with the Perlow family in a new outreach and public awareness campaign “If I Knew Then What I Know Now.”

In four powerful videos, local families speak about how alcohol, other drugs and risky behaviors have impacted their lives and the lives of those they love. Members of the Perlow family shared their personal story in one of these videos, “A Parent’s Worst Nightmare.” These stories are at ifiknew.org
