On March 6th, MVPASAP invites you to join us in recognizing Black Balloon Day, a National Day of Remembrance for those lost to overdose. By displaying black balloons outside your organization, you help raise awareness of the devastating impact of substance use disorder while honoring lives lost and supporting those still struggling.

This simple yet powerful gesture sparks conversations, reduces stigma, and reinforces the need for prevention, education, and recovery resources in our communities.

We appreciate your support in spreading awareness and standing in solidarity with families affected by addiction.

If you or a loved one in is in need of services, please reach out:
