Frank and Christina sit with Ruth Del Pino of Mercer Council this week. After being showered with a ton of Mercer Council SWAG, Ruth shares the vision and purpose of Mercer Council, as well as her own journey in the capital city, which is committed to its mission of creating pathways to reduce substance-related challenges through education, support, advocacy, and partnerships throughout our community. Mercer Council implements research-based programs to provide children and families with tools that empower them to make healthy, safe and responsible choices.
