Overdose Awareness Vigil
from The Valley Today Hosted by Janet Michael
Our conversation today with Celeste Brooks, Community Outreach Coordinator for Northwestern Prevention Collaborative and Warren Coalition also included Cori Pence, Communications Specialist for Northwestern Community Services Board. The pair gave details for the Overdose Awareness Vigil happening on August 31, 2023, from 6:30 to 8pm at the Front Royal Moose Lodge. Although this event is specifically intended for the residents of Page, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties, all are welcome to attend. There will be a resource fair to help you learn about prescription drug safety, preventing opioid misuse, and local treatment and recovery services. The event will also feature several speakers. The evening will wrap up as everyone joins together to remember the lives lost to overdoses and offer comfort to their friends and families in attendance. If you lost a loved one to overdose, you are invited to bring a photo for the memorial board. Cori explained the Rapid Revive course that will be offered during the resource fair portion of the event and talked about how easy the training is, and encouraged everyone to participate.
