The toxic drug crisis affects so many people. On this #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay, for family & friends who have lost a loved one, healthcare/outreach workers sharing strength & compassion, & first responders who show up for the call – #WeSeeYou. #IOAD23

@OverdoseDay

[International Overdose Awareness Day @OverdoseDay]

Sometimes, something as simple as starting a conversation about overdose with those around you can be liberating, enlightening n potentially life-changing. With just 2days to go til #IOAD2023, we encourage you to have a conversation about overdose with someone in your life.🧵1/n

[Addictions & Mental Health Ontario @AMHOnt]

Today is #OverdoseAwarenessDay. Let’s recognize & honour those whose lives have been altered by overdoses.
By breaking the stigma & committing to supporting people who use substances we provide more pathways to recovery for our communities & save lives. #WeSeeYou

@PeteKrykant_OPC Am I understanding this correctly? UK does not have Safe Consumption Sites?

[Families for Addiction Recovery @FARCANADA]

Reach out to a trusted family member who has experienced a similar situation and have an open and confidential conversation. Rest assured that this discussion is entirely private and won't cost anything.

Shout out to @HolyCrossCSS and @alcdsb! A young man was doing some work at my house. During our chat he told me he had been kicked out of his home at a young age and almost dropped out of school, but a guidance teacher “saved him” and he is now a successful electrician!

[Families for Addiction Recovery @FARCANADA]

Connect with a trusted family member who has encountered a similar situation and engage in an open conversation. This conversation is completely confidential and free of charge. Explore innovative approaches to collaborate with your loved one.

Both are supervised consumption sites (bars) except one has a regulated supply of drugs with labels and percentages so you know exactly what you're consuming to reduce the harms. #harmreduction

[Kingstonist @kingstonist]

Several residents in the Kingston area reported feeling the shaking.

@dr_jdlivingston We are a stigma-fighting organization of family caregivers to those with addiction. We support intervention where our loved ones lack capacity to make treatment decisions and/or where the alternative is sexual exploitation, criminalization, being unhoused, or other serious harm.

[Barb C @advocate3333]

@VIA_Rail How can there be NO FOOD OR SNACKS to purchase on train 64? Why are supplies not delivered at each stop if necessary???

[Barb C @advocate3333]

@guyfelicella I love your story Guy! Happy Anniversary to you both
