Opioid Crisis Info Session- Wed. Mar. 18, 7pm

In 2018, Ulster County had the most opioid related deaths per capita in New York State. With over one death per week attributed to opioids, Ulster County has deeply felt the effects of this nationwide crisis.*

Carol Sutcliffe, from Ulster County’s Family Services of New York, will be at the Library on Wednesday, March 18 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the opioid crisis that has widely affected Ulster County. During her presentation, Sutcliffe will discuss overdose statistics, the steps Ulster County is taking to address the crisis, and the treatments and free services available to individuals and families.
