International Overdose Awareness Day - August 31st
Sunday is a global day to remember lives lost to drug poisoning and support those affected. It’s a time to raise awareness, fight stigma, and promote harm reduction.
This Year’s Theme: One Big Family, Driven by Hope.
Together, we can turn grief into action and build a future where no one dies from a preventable overdose.
How to Get Involved:
• Attend a local vigil or event
• Learn how to use naloxone (Narcan)
• Turn your city purple! A single request can illuminate a local landmark and shine a spotlight on the overdose crisis.
Light a candle. Share a story. Save a life!
