International Overdose Awareness Day is TODAY, August 31. In partnership with the Lorain County Opioid Action Team (LCOAT), 59 yard signs and 4,543 purple flags have been distributed throughout Lorain County to remember the 77 lives lost to drug overdose in 2025.
The signs and flags serve as a visible reminder of the lives lost and the lasting impact overdose has on individuals, families, and our entire community. They also help raise awareness about prevention, treatment, recovery, and the importance of supporting those affected by substance use.
The Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County is proud to be part of the 2026 Lorain County Fair! 🎡
Today, MHARS Board of Directors members Wanda Ewing and Michele Flanagan are giving their time to connect with fair-goers and help those looking for support and resources.
Stop by Building 19, Booth #359 to say hello, spin our prize wheel, and pick up information about mental health, substance use, prevention, treatment, and recovery services available throughout Lorain County.
Whether you’re looking for help for yourself, a family member, or someone you care about, you are not alone. The MHARS Board is here to help connect individuals and families to the support they need during times of crisis.
Come see us at the fair! 💙

Thank you to Oberlin Community Services and all of the agencies across Lorain County working together to spread overdose awareness, connect people with prevention resources, and support those impacted by substance use.
Every conversation matters. Every connection matters. And every effort to help someone find support can make a difference.
Together, we remember those we’ve lost, support those in recovery, and work toward a healthier, safer Lorain County. 💜
