  • International Overdose Awareness Day

    August 31, 2025

    August is Overdose Awareness Month—a time to honor lives lost, raise awareness about the dangers of drug overdose, and fight the stigma surrounding substance-related deaths. This message hits close to home: in 2021, Greene County ranked #1 in overdose fatalities among 57 upstate NY counties, with Columbia County at #22.

    Thanks to harm reduction efforts and expanded access to resources, overdose deaths have declined since then—but the work is far from over. We must continue to act, educate, and support our communities to prevent further loss and build a healthier future.

  • May is Mental Health Awareness Month

    May is Mental Health Awareness Month, spotlighting the link between mental health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Nearly 1 in 4 adults with a mental illness also struggles with SUD—a condition known as a co-occurring disorder. Raising awareness helps break stigma and encourages integrated, compassionate care for those facing both challenges.

  • 100 Deadliest Days of Summer

    The 100 Deadliest Days of Summer refers to the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when traffic-related fatalities—especially among teens—spike across the U.S. Increased travel, impaired driving, and distracted behaviors contribute to the rise in crashes during this time. Parents, caregivers, and communities play a vital role in promoting safe driving habits and helping prevent these tragedies. Staying alert, sober, and focused behind the wheel can save lives.
