Today is International Overdose Awareness Day β marking 25 years since this day first began.
The theme this year is "25 Years On. Still Needed." It's a message with two sides. Twenty-five years of progress, of people learning to recognise the signs, of reduced stigma, of lives genuinely saved. And still, twenty-five years later, this day remains necessary β because overdose continues to affect families everywhere, including families right here.
Today is for remembering the people this has taken. It's for the families still carrying that grief, often quietly, often without anyone acknowledging it out loud. And it's a reminder of something worth repeating clearly: overdose is preventable.
Recognising the warning signs early, and acting on them without hesitation, saves lives.
If you're worried about someone, or if today brings something close to home for you, we're here.
