International Overdose Awareness Day was August 31. We came together on a global scale, to remember, raise awareness and to say: let’s end overdose.

The spirit of remembrance and action continues around the world this week.

Aug. 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to remember, without stigma, those we've lost and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind 💜 Together, we can bring our voices together to #EndOverdose and save lives. https://t.co/xJ4vYJSSpC #IOAD2025

[Pew Health @pewhealth]

In 2010, less than 1% of fentanyl deaths involved stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine.

By 2021, that rate had jumped to 32% by 2021.

Thankfully, many proven solutions exist that states can employ to help save lives. https://t.co/sVgfsy4LOV #IOAD2025

Naloxone saves lives. 💙

It is available at many pharmacies and community organizations and can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

Carrying naloxone could save the life of a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger.

[Support.Don't Punish @SDPcampaign]

Overdose takes hundreds of thousands of lives each year. These deaths are preventable — shaped by policies, inequality and stigma.

We honour those lost by fighting regression and building a world where caring responses replace punitive ones.

💜 International Overdose Awareness Day 💜
Every overdose is preventable. We need greater funding for treatment & harm reduction, naloxone for frontline responders & expanded life-saving AOD services.
A compassionate, health-based response saves lives.
