WARREN COUNTY, Ohio — While the summer months may limit how long we see the night sky, residents in Warren and Clinton counties will notice a purple glow at night this month.

The Mental Health Recovery Board Serving Warren and Clinton Counties is leading an initiative called #LightUpPurpleWC , asking residents, local governments and businesses to light up purple, the color representing Overdose Awareness Month.

One of the people participating at her home is Franklin firefighter paramedic Katie Williams.

“I feel that if you know somebody sees that light, and that they know they’re not alone, whether they’re a family member struggling or they’re the person struggling themselves," Williams said.
