On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those lost to overdose and stand with Veterans, families and communities impacted by substance use.

For many Veterans, challenges like trauma, chronic pain and mental health concerns can increase the risk of substance use and overdose. Support, connection and access to resources can save lives.

On August 31, join us in raising awareness, reducing stigma and reminding Veterans they are not alone.
