Karissa and Caitlin spent the day at the Hidden Potential Summit today! The event was hosted by Emory & Henry's Appalachian Center for Civic Life and the School of Health Sciences, with other partners including the Powerhouse and YWCA, Mount Rogers Community Services, Highlands Community Services, and Appalachian Substance Abuse Coalition.
