Troy, Tenn.–On Wednesday, Obion County Central High School hosted a visit from the Obion County Prevention Coalition and guest speaker Forest Quillen.
Quillen, a recovered addict, started his own company called “Be Somebody Llc.”and works as the Executive Director of Teen Challenge and works with a recovery group for men.
The story he shared was about overcoming poverty, addiction, mental health, and how recognizing these signs as students could potentially save a life of someone in our schools. Quillen caught the attention of many, and some students even had the opportunity to speak with him one-on-one after he was finished speaking.
