August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).
IOAD is an international campaign to take action on overdose. It aims to honor the lives of the loved ones who have died from overdose, show support to those in recovery from substance abuse, and raise awareness about the risks of drug overdose.
Overdose affects every community, but it can be prevented. Be part of the solution by speaking openly, treating others with respect and care, and supporting those around you.
