Flags planted along the Center Common raise awareness for victims of the opioid epidemic.
NOTE: This segment originally aired back in August of 2023.
September is recognized by the CDC as National Recovery Month, as advocates aim to highlight treatment and recovery resources for those with substance use disorder.
Framingham FORCE is a local group that aims to raise awareness and compassion in regard to the nation’s ongoing opioid epidemic. If you’ve driven by the Center Common over the past few days, you may have noticed flags planted in the grass along Edgell Road. Those flags each represent one person who died due to an overdose within Massachusetts.
Last year, we met with Cathy Miles—the co-founder of Framingham FORCE—along with other community members who took part in the flag-planting.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use disorder, Framingham FORCE could be of assistance. Their website is www.framinghamforce.org–more details can be found there.
