Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a global day of remembrance, action, and care.

For 25 years, this observance has brought people together to honor lives lost to overdose and strengthen the work needed to prevent future loss. Overdose continues to affect every community, but the risks people face and the support available to them are not experienced equally.

Addressing overdose requires attention to the disparities that shape prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery resources, alongside systems that treat people with dignity and care.

Stories can be a healing modality.

In this clip from P4HE’s Q2 webinar, “Dr. Mama” Deborah Pierce-Fakunle of DiscoverME/RecoverME describes how storytelling is used in spaces with people recovering from trauma and addiction.

Through story hours and shared reflection, DiscoverME/RecoverME helps participants identify the virtues and strengths already within themselves. It is a powerful reminder that storytelling can do more than communicate an experience. It can create space for recognition, dignity, connection, and healing.

New in the P4HE Resource Library: a rapid review on politicized health legislation and adolescents’ right to health.

This resource examines how restrictions on reproductive, gender-affirming, and eating disorder care can shape adolescents’ ability to access safe and timely care. Findings point to financial barriers, geographic care deserts, delays in treatment, and increased physical and mental health concerns.

The review also highlights the need for institutional support for providers and continued policy advocacy to protect adolescents’ access to care.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Immunizations are one of the most important tools in preventive health care, helping protect people and communities across generations. But vaccine access is also shaped by trust, clear communication, cost, language access, local outreach, and the systems people rely on for care.

This month, we’re highlighting immunization-related resources in the P4HE Resource Library, including materials on vaccine access, misinformation, community trust, and public health communication.

Community-led work does not need to be rescued. It needs to be recognized, supported, and respected.

In this clip from Joy as Resistance: Redefining Health Narratives for Black Communities, P4HE host Dr. Caryn Bell reflects on the joy of working alongside New Orleans community organizations rooted in Black culture, Black healing, and Black joy.

For researchers and partners, her message is a grounding one: collaborate with humility, offer useful support, and honor the brilliance already present in communities.

In this clip from P4HE’s Q2 webinar, Lacey Wind reflects on why storytelling work must begin with trust, reciprocity, and accurate interpretation. Too often, community stories have been collected or used without a reciprocal relationship or care.

Her reminder is an important one for anyone working in research, public health, policy, communications, or community engagement: narrative power is not only about sharing stories. It is about honoring the people and relationships behind them.

For our Quarter 3 Learning Journey, we’ve been exploring how digital access, emerging technologies, including AI, and health are connected.

Digital equity is about more than whether technology exists. It also asks whether people and communities can access, use, trust, understand, and benefit from digital tools, systems, and infrastructure.

P4HE’s Resource Spotlight on digital equity brings together resources to support learning and action across public health, research, policy, community engagement, philanthropy, and other sectors.
