Join us for an evening of remembrance, connection, and hope as we honor those we have lost to overdose and stand together in support of recovery.
International Overdose Awareness Day is a time to remember loved ones, reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorder, and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone. Whether you have experienced loss, are in recovery, support someone you love, or simply want to stand with your community, you are welcome.
