Have a great Monday, and remember to always drive sober.

Flash flood warnings are in effect across much of the state, which means travel is extremely dangerous. Please, don’t take any chances.

Stay home, stay off the roads, and stay safe.

Small steps are also progress.❣️

We are at the RCO for Oswego County Summer Festival at Breitbeck Park in Oswego! Stop by and say hello!

Although cannabis is legal for recreational use, you still need to be at least 21 years old to purchase, posses or consume it. High school students in Oswego County still have a perception that using is wrong amongst peers their age.

The Glow for OCO night golf tournament is coming up quickly! Can you believe it is already taking place this Friday, August 16th?
We are so grateful to all the sponsors, golfers, donors, and volunteers for making this event such a success each year!
If you have signed up to join us, please be prepared for a super fun evening...

Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds — at 55 mph, you may be surprised how far you can travel in that amount of time. 🏈

What inspired me to join Farnham and work in the field of substance abuse prevention and treatment was the opportunity to help facilitate powerful change. Guiding individuals on their journey to recovery from substance use is incredibly rewarding. Some of my most memorable moments at Farnham include witnessing our clients succeed in their treatment plan goals. Seeing clients return to the workforce and become better parents, friends, and family members is particularly gratifying.

At Farnham, clients are not just numbers; each person is treated as an individual. I also appreciate how I am treated and valued as an employee. Farnham’s approach to substance use prevention and treatment is rooted in providing the highest quality of care, and I see this commitment only strengthening in the future.
