Today is #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay.

On August 31 every year, we come together to remember our loved ones lost to overdose and to call for action to end overdose.

It's time to spread the word!

Overdose can happen to anyone, regardless of background or circumstance. It can occur whether a person is experiencing drug dependence or not. It can strike when a contaminated substance is taken or even during a first-time drug use. It can happen to people using prescription drugs. It affects the young and old, and everyone in between, anywhere in the world. Overdose does not discriminate.

Let's shatter the stigma surrounding overdose.

Together, let's work towards a world free from overdose harm.

On el #DiaDeLosMuertos we remember those who have left us as a result of overdose. Humanity is wounded. The wounds won't heal if we point the finger at the symptoms rather than the root cause.
