Overdoses don’t just happen somewhere else — they are happening here in Chester County.

Recent data shows that many overdoses involve fentanyl and multiple substances, making them more dangerous and less predictable. That’s why education, awareness, and preparation matter now more than ever.

Through community partnerships, real-time data, and prevention efforts, Hazel Pittman Center is working to strengthen our county’s response — but saving lives also starts with YOU.

Do you know what to do in an overdose?

✔ Recognize the signs
✔ Call 911
✔ Administer Narcan

We are providing FREE Narcan and brief training so community members are prepared to respond.

Today is Black Balloon Day - a day to pause, remember, and honor the lives lost to overdose. Every black balloon represents someone who was loved: a parent, a child, a friend, a neighbor.

We remember with love and speak their names. If you or someone you know needs support, we're here for you: drugfree.org/getsupport
