INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY |

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died from overdose, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.
The IOAD 2023 theme “Recognizing those people who go unseen” is about acknowledging people in our communities who are affected by overdose but might go unseen in the crisis.

“To me prevention means providing support and the necessary tools to keep our community as healthy as possible! Prevention is important to me because I've seen what can happen when someone doesn't receive these tools. Prevention is so important because it's shown to help millions and is essential for a community's wellbeing. ” - Seidi Lopez |
