Welcome to Curious Conversations with Amy Travis, Counselor at The Morton Center, and Lynette Green, Digital Marketing Manager and Brown-Forman Spirit Member. Curious Conversations is sponsored by the Morton Center and Spirit; an employee resource group at Brown-Forman with a mission to create an environment where all employees and guests feel welcome regardless of whether or not they drink. These conversations are meant to encourage people to learn about substance use disorder, and how it effects relationships all around us. The content for these curious conversations is born out of The Morton Center’s Concerned Persons Program offered every Tuesday night at The Morton Center and tailored here to themed topics.

Part 5 – Does this make sense? Questions unanswered? Not a sacred topic: continue to be curious and have conversations

One on one sessions can be scheduled individually, or The Morton Center can work with you to bring this topic of Curious Conversations to your organization by calling Priscilla McIntosh at 502-459-7086.

The mission of The Morton Center is to help break the cycle of substance use disorder. The Morton Center is celebrating 35 years this year, and provides services in an outpatient setting for those struggling with substance use, and also providing services for the family, including children’s programming starting at age six.
