WESTFIELD — The theme of the Overdose Awareness Vigil on Thursday night was “Forget Me Not,” honoring those lost to overdose, but the message from the speakers directed to family members and people struggling with addiction was “You are not alone.”
Organized by Tapestry Harm Reduction Site at 17 E. Silver St. and the Westfield Peer Recovery Center at 75 Broad Street, service providers and emergency responders from organizations working in the community circled the Elm Street Plaza field, illustrating that message.
