Join us as we examine the sobering data showing record-breaking opioid-related fatalities in 2021 compared to 2020 in Franklin County and Athol with Northwestern District Attorney David E. Sullivan on Thursday, February 17, from 2 PM – 3 PM. You can register for this free event, here.

DA Sullivan, one of the founding co-chairs of the Opioid Task Force of Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region, will present the data his office collects every year on opioid-related deaths. This presentation will also reveal where these deaths have occurred, as well as what ages and genders are most affected.

There will also be a brief overview of the CONNECT Program, launched in July 2021. CONNECT is the Franklin County and the North Quabbin’s post-opioid overdose follow-up and community outreach program, designed to provide support and services within 72 hours of an opioid overdose.
