🚨 Community Alert: Overdose Spike in Essex County 🚨

January brought heartbreaking news — Essex County experienced the highest number of overdoses ever recorded in a single month:
💔 1 fatal overdose
🙏 10 nonfatal overdoses

In our rural communities, barriers like limited providers, transportation challenges, and stigma make it even harder for people to access care. But you are NOT alone. 💙

When an overdose happens, our Crisis Intervention Team is activated through the Law Enforcement Mental Health Referral System — ensuring that compassion, support, and resources are offered quickly to those in need. 🌿 https://bit.ly/3JyhtPE

✨ Recovery is possible. Help is here.
