September is Su***de Prevention Month ❤️‍🩹

And this year, there’s one thing we really want to talk about:

Su***de prevention shouldn’t start when someone is already in crisis 💔

Crisis support matters deeply. But so does everything that can happen before that moment 🙏

Prevention means learning to recognize when we’re not okay. Finding words for what we’re feeling. Checking in on someone before they have to ask. Making it easier to say, “I’m having a hard time.”

Because you don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support.

You deserve it now. 🩵

If you’re in crisis or need immediate support, call or text 988.

Keep going. We’re really glad you’re here. 🫶

Today, August 31, we recognize International Overdose Awareness Day. 💜

We remember the lives lost to overdose, stand with the families and loved ones impacted, and reaffirm that every life is worth saving.

Overdose is preventable. Carry naloxone. Know the signs. Reduce stigma. Start conversations. 💜

Together, we can prevent overdose and save lives.

Tomorrow, August 31, is International Overdose Awareness Day. 💜

A day to remember those we’ve lost, support the people who carry their memory, and raise awareness that overdose is preventable.

Every life matters. Every story matters. Every loss is one too many. 💜

Do you know what the signs of overdose are? For opioids, they can include:
- not responding
- cold or clammy skin
- irregular, shallow, or slow breathing
- snoring or gurgling sounds (can appear like deep sleep)
- blue/pale or grey/ashen lips or fingertips.
Use naloxone if you have it and call an ambulance because naloxone only temporarily reverses overdose. Overdose deaths are preventable when we know the signs!

Today is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day.

Fentanyl has changed the landscape of substance use and education can be a powerful tool for prevention. Today, notMYkid is proud to connect with Partnership to End Addiction to raise awareness, encourage conversations, and help families and communities better understand the risks of fentanyl and other substances. We remember the lives lost and stand with the families and communities impacted by substance use and addiction.

Prevention starts before a crisis. It starts with knowing the facts, having honest conversations, recognizing risk, and making sure young people and the adults who care for them have the tools and support they need.

Together, we can turn awareness into action. Together, we can help prevent substance use and save lives.

U.S. Rep. Nellie Pou (D-9) has announced a $125,000 federal grant for the Kearny Prevention Coalition Drug-Free Communities Support Project.

08/12/2026

For too long, our young people have been vulnerable to illicit substances nationwide. We are in a drug epidemic.

That's why $125K in federal funding is coming home to . This funding will combat substance abuse, and help keep families safe and secure.

💜 August is International Overdose Awareness Month. 💜

Throughout August, we honor the lives lost to overdose, support those who have experienced loss, and stand with individuals and families affected by substance use. This month is a reminder that education, compassion, and access to lifesaving resources can make a difference.

As we prepare for International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, join us in helping raise awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting prevention. Together, we can create a community where everyone has the opportunity to seek support without judgment.

Awareness saves lives. Prevention starts with all of us.
