Lived experience is a voice for change.

Today, the Hamilton County Commissioners recognized the On the Front Lines Community Alliance Advisory Board and proclaimed August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day in Hamilton County.

Since 2012, 5,220 lives have been lost to overdose in Hamilton County. We remember them and stand with those in recovery.

Recognition matters, but action matters more. Together, we must challenge stigma, expand access to support, and help people find a path to recovery.

This is more than awareness. This is a call to action.

Thank you to everyone who joined today’s On the Front Lines Community Alliance SWAP meeting!

We heard from The LIT Movement about their faith-based sober living program for men overcoming addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. We also welcomed Meagan Guthrie from the Hamilton County Office of Addiction Response for a meaningful discussion on opioid settlement funding.

We appreciate everyone who shared their ideas. Every voice matters, and together we’re building a stronger community.

Join us next month for our next SWAP meeting!

Today at S.W.A.P. (Socializing With A Purpose), OTFLCA was honored to hear from Meagan Guthrie, Director of Addiction Response for Hamilton County, and Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus as they shared insights on the Hamilton County Addiction Response Coalition (ARC) pillars and the importance of cross-system collaboration in addressing addiction, recovery, prevention, public health, and community engagement.

Conversations like these remind us that meaningful change happens when providers, peers, advocates, first responders, and community leaders come together with a shared purpose. Today’s meeting was filled with connection, collaboration, and a collective commitment to strengthening our communities.

We were also grateful to hear from Tonja with S.O.A.R., who highlighted their life-saving work in harm reduction.

S.O.A.R.
Safety. Outreach. Autonomy. Respect.

Through innovative technology, community connection, and on-the-ground support across Ohio, S.O.A.R. is helping prevent overdoses, save lives, and empower individuals to build healthier, stronger communities.

Thank you to all who attended and continue showing up for this important work. Together, we are making a difference. 🙌
