Members of the community gathered at the Price City Peace Gardens on Saturday evening in support of the Hope-Health-Healing Overdose Awareness event. The event aimed to promote hope, health and healing while providing information on local resources and a variety of support for attendees.
The event provided fun activities for those in attendance, such as yoga in the park, as well stories of inspiration and a candlelight vigil. This event was sponsored by One Voice Recovery, USARA, YPR-UT, Positive Pathways, UHRC, Four Corners Community Behavioral Health, Utah Naloxone, Addicted We Stand and USU Extension.
Carbon County Royalty also graced the event with Miss Carbon County Lily Vigil speaking on her social impact initiative “The Second Chance Movement: Opioid Epidemic Awareness.” The awareness event was just the start of her goal to raise awareness of the local opioid epidemic and spread information throughout the community.
