INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY POSTER CONTEST

Make a difference this International Overdose Awareness Day!

International Overdose Awareness Day takes place yearly on August 31 and is a day to remember those we have lost to substance poisoning and acknowledge the grief of those they left behind. This year’s theme is “Recognizing those people who go unseen,” which is meant to acknowledge those affected by overdose that may not be recognized during times of crisis.

We want your help to raise awareness on this day! The Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) is holding a poster contest for youth aged 15-30 to make a poster that will be used to promote harm reduction, land-based healing, and International Overdose Awareness Day.

For poster contest rules, visit: scoinc.mb.ca/postercontest2023

SCO’s Harm Reduction Program was launched earlier this year to promote harm reduction practices that aim to keep loved ones who are impacted by substance use safe, while offering love and support, minimizing the harms associated with substance use, and supporting them on their healing journeys.
