WATCH: Connections Live on the opioid epidemic across New York

In this special edition of Connections, we address the opioid epidemic in New York State. The conversation will take place in front of a live studio audience at the WXXI studios. In the first hour, local individuals living in recovery will share their journeys of hope and the challenges they've faced battling addiction. 

In our second hour, local leaders in healthcare and law enforcement will provide an update on the state of the crisis in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region.
