August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day
Each year, August 31 marks International Overdose Awareness Day, the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose. This year’s theme, Together We Can, highlights the power of our community when we all stand together.

This year’s toolkit includes:
- A letter to all behavioral health providers
- Overdose awareness and prevention resources
- Overdose awareness week social media materials
- Draft press release
