2026 International Overdose Awareness Day @ JOLT Foundation
JOLT Foundation invites our community to join us in honoring the people we have lost to overdose. This will be a welcoming space to rest, grieve, connect, and speak the names of those we carry with us.
There is no expectation that you share your story, speak publicly, or participate in any particular way. You are welcome to talk, listen, sit quietly, step away when needed, or simply be among people who understand. Come exactly as you are.
Bring yourself, a chair if you have one—and extras for others, if you’re able—and any grief you’ve been holding onto. Food and drinks will be provided.
Everyone is welcome—staff, volunteers, participants, families, friends, neighbors, and anyone whose life has been touched by overdose.
If you are a service or helping professional (public health, fire rescue/EMS, substance use treatment, healthcare, social work, etc.) who's been impacted, you are invited to join us as well.
