Mott Corporation, Wheeler Volunteers Plant 1,374 Flags for International Overdose Awareness Day

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and our dear partners at the Mott Corporation joined the Connecticut Clearinghouse, other Wheeler staff, the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and advocates from across the state to place 1,374 white flags along the south walkway of the State Capitol this morning, each flag representing a life lost to overdose in 2020, a 14.5% increase over the previous year. #IOAD2021
