International Overdose Awareness Day

 



International Overdose Awareness Day is the world's largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember those who have lost their lives, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.

The campaign raises awareness of overdose, which is one of the world's worst public health crisis. It helps to stimulate action and discussion about evidence-based overdose prevention and drug policy. The campaign also acknowledges the profound grief felt by families and friends whose loved ones have died or suffered permanent injury from a drug overdose.

International Overdose Awareness Day spreads the message about the tragedy of drug overdose death and that drug overdose is preventable.

Stay safe and talk to your kids early and often about the facts and dangers of alcohol and other drug use - they will listen!
