Join us today, International Overdose Awareness Day, as we unite to raise awareness, eliminate stigma, and promote compassion in tackling substance overdose within our community.
Together, we can strive for prevention, support, and brighter tomorrows.
August 31st, let’s acknowledge & support the people in our communities who go unrecognized by raising awareness of the hidden impacts of overdose, promoting education for overdose response, and reaching out to politicians to make lifesaving policy changes.
