9th Annual International Overdose Awareness Day of Howard County
Come join us at St John's Episcopal Church for a day of education, support, and remembrance. This in-person event aims to raise awareness about overdose prevention and provide resources for those affected by substance abuse.
This International Overdose Awareness Day let’s imagine a new meaning of what family can be. A family driven by hope, love and action. We are one big family – not just because we share in the pain of loss, but because we share in the power to change what comes next.
This August 31, we move beyond awareness. We organize, we show up, and we take action. Because no one should carry this grief alone. Every story shared, every voice raised and every step we take brings us closer to a future free from overdose. Join our family this IOAD.
