Introduction into International Overdose Awareness Day

nternational 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.

We will have Danielle Cameron on presenting about what this day means and how we can help bring awareness to something that is affecting so many people.
