Some things are spooky. 👻 Asking for help isn't one of them. Reaching out when you're struggling can feel uncomfortable - but you don't have to figure everything out alone. Let’s celebrate the courage it takes to say, “I need some help.” 🧡 #startsd #spooky #RecoveryJourney

Mental health and substance use care are healthcare, too. 💙 Everyone deserves access to the support they need to heal, recover, and move forward. What does better access to care look like in your community? #mentalhealth #endthestigma #startsd

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. 💜 Every overdose is a person & every life is valuable. Healing starts with understanding & harm reduction saves lives. #25YearsStillNeeded #EndOverdose #OverdoseAwareness #HarmReduction #IOAD2026 #SaveALife #STARTSD

[START SD Program @startsdprogram]

The 2026 theme for International Overdose Awareness Day. Together, we continue to remember the people we've lost, support those affected and in recovery, and learn about and advocate for safety and prevention. 💜 #EndOverdose #OverdoseAwareness #HarmReduction #IOAD2026 #STARTSD

[START SD Program @startsdprogram]

An overdose can happen to anyone, anywhere. It affects families in every community. We ask you to challenge your ideas and assumptions. Awareness, education, conversations, and compassion can save lives. 💜 #OverdoseAwareness #HarmReduction #IOAD2026 #SaveALife #STARTSD

[START SD Program @startsdprogram]

How can you take action? Learn the signs and symptoms, know how to respond, carry naloxone, share resources, and offer compassion! 💜#25YearsStillNeeded #EndOverdose #OverdoseAwareness #HarmReduction #IOAD2026 #SaveALife #STARTSD
