Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. We Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. We honour those who have lost their lives to overdose, and we stand in solidarity with the families and communities enduring grief.For 25 years, awareness days like these have been held. And unfortunately, they're still needed.Overdose is preventable, and the harm and risk associated with substance use can be greatly reduced. We must start by speaking openly about this issue and from the basic understanding that every life is precious and deserving of compassion and dignity. 💜💜💜More: https://www.overdoseday.com/
