💜 Wrapping Up Our Overdose Awareness Health Promotion Month
As the month comes to an end, we want to take a moment to reflect on the important conversations, connections and moments we’ve shared throughout our Overdose Awareness health promotion activities.
Throughout the month, we created a range of opportunities for our community to come together, remember those we have lost, share stories and continue to raise awareness about overdose and the importance of harm reduction and keeping each other safe.
🌳 Memorial Tree – a place to remember and honour those we have lost.
📖 Memorial Book – giving our community a space to write, reflect and share memories.
🧠 Overdose Awareness Quiz – creating conversations and sharing important harm reduction information.
🍔 Community BBQ – bringing everyone together, connecting and supporting one another.
💬 Words and quotes for our community – messages of hope, strength, remembrance and encouragement that people could take with them.
We also had an amazing turnout at our International Overdose Awareness Day BBQ at Veterans Park, with close to 80 people attending and around 20 naloxone interventions provided.
Most importantly, this month has been about people — remembering, connecting, supporting and making sure our community has the knowledge and tools to respond when it matters.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, shared their stories, supported our activities and helped make the month so meaningful. And thank you to ATODA for your continued support. 💜
Harm reduction saves lives. Our community saves lives. And together, we can keep each other safer.
