The Stop Heroin from Killing Committee is back with its 9th annual Opioid Symposium on Thursday February 22nd at 6pm in the Johnson Center of Malone University.
Committee Chairman Judge Frank Forchione says overdose deaths were up 11-percent in 2022 compared to the previous year to 159 in the county. And 81-percent of those unintentional overdoses involved fentanyl.
Speakers include two recovering addicts and the mother of a child addict.
Judge Forchione invites teens and their parents to attend the two-hour free event after hearing about so-called Opiate Parties going on in the community.
