SUMMARY:Black Balloon Day
DESCRIPTION:On March 6\, families and loved ones across the United States come together for Black Balloon Day to honor those lost to overdose. While overdose deaths have recently declined\, drug overdose remains the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. Black Balloon Day is a time to remember\, raise awareness for harm prevention\, and support those impacted by substance use disorder. Sharing our stories and bringing the community together through shared experiences helps break the stigma and drive real change. (Overdose Lifeline). \nHow will SOS Berks Recognize Black Balloon Day?\nSOS Berks will raise awareness around Black Balloon Day through social media and other online sources. We encourage everyone to participate virtually by sharing their own stories\, a message of hope\, or simply posting about Black Balloon Day. Visit overdoselifeline.org to learn more about how you can participate. \n \nRead about the Berks County Black Balloon Bench\nThe story of the Black Balloon Bench appeared in the Winter 2019-2020 issue of The Response Magazine. Read it to learn how family members rescued a memorial bench from flood waters. The bench\, which had been decorated with balloons every Black Balloon Day\, was swept into the Schuylkill River during a storm. After days of tireless searching\, a family member found the bench and fought through strong currents to recover it. Today\, it stands as a symbol of resiliency and hope. Read the article.
