Taylorville Safe Passage hosting its first public meeting at the Taylorville Municipal Building meeting room at 6 p.m. 

Co-Coordinator Denise Evans says that Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler will speak and discuss substance abuse awareness and bullying. 

You might think bullying deserves its own section, and you might be right. However, Evans hopes this discussion will focus on how bullying can lead to substance abuse. 

Evans says that she’s trying her hardest to let everyone know about Safe Passage. 

Safe Passage is always expanding when they are able. A Jacksonville hospital recently reached out to Evans to set up a similar program. 

Again, that informational meeting is at 6 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room of the Taylorville Municipal Building.
