Let us come together as a community to honor and remember those who have died from overdose. By shining a light on their stories, we can raise awareness and advocate for change. During the vigil, you will have the opportunity to hear firsthand from courageous families who have experienced the heart-wrenching loss of a loved one to overdose. Their stories will serve as a reminder of the devastating impact that substance use disorder can have on individuals and their families. Additionally, we will have valuable information available on how to seek help and support for those struggling with substance use disorder. Understanding the resources and avenues for assistance is crucial in addressing this crisis, and we aim to provide guidance to anyone seeking to make a difference.
