About International Overdose Awareness Day

International Overdose Awareness Day is a global campaign held to end drug-related overdoses and reduce the stigma surrounding drug-related deaths. It serves as a time to remember those who have lost their lives to overdose and to acknowledge the grief of families and friends left behind. The observance highlights the importance of public health initiatives and harm reduction strategies in the United States.
