Today we remember all those who lost their lives to an accidental overdose. May they never be forgotten.
We would love if you would share your child’s picture with us so that we can remember them with you.
International Overdose Awareness Day is held every year on August 31st. We are our child’s voice. 💜

REMINDER: UNFILTERED IS TOMORROW!😁🖐️

Unfiltered is a peer-led group for youth ages 12–17 who have been impacted by a loved one’s substance use, incarceration, or behavioral health struggles.

Doors open at 11:30 AM. Parents and caregivers are welcome to come inside, get their child settled, and meet our Youth Program Director, Josh. At 12:00 PM, we ask that parents and caregivers leave the group space so our youth have privacy and the freedom to speak their truth in a safe, supportive environment.

This week will include a fun interactive game followed by a topic discussion designed to help everyone connect, share, and know they’re not alone.

Saturday, August 29
12:00–1:00 PM

Doors open at 11:30 AM
The JADFA House
916 Kenmore Blvd., Akron

Overdose can happen with prescription opioids, illicit opioids, or when opioids are mixed with alcohol or other drugs. Knowing the risks and taking medications only as prescribed can help prevent overdose. Learn more about overdose prevention: samhsa.gov/opioids
