SUMMARY:International Overdose Awareness Day Flag Raising Ceremony

The Overdose Awareness Day flag will be raised during the event and will fly for seven days. Speakers will include state\, county and local officials.

Hold an event\, spread the message\, take action today. This year the theme for IOAD is 25 Years On. Still Needed. \nFor 25 years\, International Overdose Awareness Day has brought people together to remember those we’ve lost and to take action to save lives. The truth is\, we shouldn’t still need this day.  But we do.  \n Overdose continues to affect every community. Yet it can be prevented. We know how to reduce risk and keep people safe. By speaking openly\, learning from one another\, and treating each other with care and respect\, we build a world where fewer lives are lost.
