Upcoming events

2023 Black Balloon Day

Annual Black Balloon Day, held on March 6 each year brings awareness to the lives lost to overdose in the United States and all over the world. Communities everywhere will be hosting special events. Black balloons serve as the symbol for the day representing and commemorating the lives lost to overdose death in each community.

 Overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Last year, the US surpassed 109,000 overdose deaths, the highest number to date. Nationally, experts blame fentanyl for the sharp rise in overdose. More people have died from fentanyl overdose than COVID-19, car accidents and suicides making the human cost of the opioid epidemic staggering. Though any drugs can contribute to overdose death, opioid drugs are responsible for most.

 In 2022, there were 289 reported overdoses in Steuben County, NY, up from 264 in 2021.  Twelve lives were lost to overdose death. Most overdoses in Steuben County were because of heroin use with fentanyl overdose being the second highest contributor.
​
 The Steuben Prevention Coalition Opioid Committee is raising awareness and reminding people that the twelve residents of Steuben County who died from overdose in 2022 were more than numbers. They were fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and friends. If someone you love is suffering from Opioid Use Disorder or addiction of any kind, please use the resource list below to reach out for help.
