Commissioners proclaim Aug. 31 Overdose Awareness Day
Overdose Awareness Day
At Thursday's Forsyth County Commission meeting, District 4 Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills read a proclamation from the board designating Aug. 31 as Overdose Awareness Day in the county.
Forsyth County officials have taken steps in recent years to recognize drug issues in the county and provide help for those in recovery, and a day is being set aside to acknowledge the effects of dangerous drugs, particularly opiates.
