On August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day unites the globe to take action on overdose. #IOAD2026 #endoverdose @peningtonnews @overdosetribute

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

UNBROKEN x PHILLY 🖤

Spent last night surrounded by stories—on the walls of Kensington, inside Vizion Art Gallery, and in the conversations with people who came through.

Huge love to Vizion. A true graffiti and street art gallery with something organic happening that you can feel. Honored to connect with Zerbe, mural artist and owner, and Bysil. Came to share UNBROKEN. Left with new creative friends.

That’s Zerbe standing in front of his own mural just down from the gallery. Had to capture the artist with his work. 🔥

To everyone who showed up, including the local supporters and investors who joined us before opening: thank you for making time for these stories and sharing your own. We talked about what Vizion is building, what brought UNBROKEN here, and how art gives us a way into conversations we don’t always know how to start.

These portraits carry people we love and those missing them . Being welcomed into a space with that much heart means something to me.

Together we are Unbroken!

I’ll be back, Philly. ✌️

Follow along @the_unbroken_project

I grieve different.

We all grieve different.

Am I unbroken? Hell no. Losing a son is fucking terrible.
Especially to a fentanyl poisoning - an overdose at 17.

Still, I’m so grateful for all the moments we captured together. I know Gavyn would be real proud of what I’m doing, as his father, to help lift up his name and so many others. Inspiring families that are still here carrying their names, to continue one.

The past several years have been beyond difficult, AND picking up a camera, capturing little moments in life, I found a way to stay present & not spiral.

Overtime, it turned into what I’m doing now with this page and @the_unbroken_project.

Coming back from Philly recently has me motivated to keep going even more! Huge shoutout to the guys at @vizion_gallery for having me & hosting Unbroken x Philly. Until next time 😎🤙

Change happens when knowledge turns into action. By working together with hospitals, we can help make emergency care for overdose cases safer, reduce stigma, and ensure that fear doesn’t stand in the way of saving lives.

التغيير بيصير لما تتحوّل المعرفة لخطوات فعلية. ومن خلال التعاون مع المستشفيات، فينا نساهم بتوفير رعاية طارئة للجرعة الزائدة أأمن، ونخفّف من الأحكام المسبقة، حتى ما يكون الخوف عائق قدّام إنقاذ حياة.

💔 Low Testosterone & All-Cause Mortality: The Opioid Connection You Aren’t Being Told About
Sub-baseline testosterone levels don’t just drain your energy—they significantly increase your statistical risk of dying from any cause. For those on extended opioid therapy, the risk compounding is severe, as these medications aggressively shut down natural hormone production.

42 hospitals across Lebanon have now confirmed to Skoun that they are safe for overdose cases. These hospitals confirmed that they do not report overdose cases to law enforcement, in line with the relevant guidance and circulars issued by the Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Interior and Municipalities, and the Syndicate of Private Hospitals.

Following the publication of our initial list, we temporarily took down the post to allow us to further verify the information with hospitals that had not been reachable during our initial outreach.
We have since completed additional calls and updated the list accordingly, to ensure that the information we share is as accurate and up to date as possible.

This updated list reflects the latest information collected directly from hospitals through surveys, emails, calls and visits. This process also took place amid challenging national circumstances, with several hospitals closed, temporarily out of service, or difficult to reach due to the war and its impact on the healthcare system.

In an overdose emergency, fear should never stand in the way of life-saving care. Call the Lebanese Red Cross on 140 and use the map to locate the nearest safe hospital.
Help us share the updated Safe Hospitals list so this information reaches those who may need it.

No two stories are the same.

Substance use does not tell you everything about a person what they have lived through, what they love, what they are surviving, what they dream about, or who they are beyond the labels.

That is why this campaign begins with listening.

Behind every substance is a story.

What if we listened before we judged?

4 things that could help prevent an overdose

For International Overdose Awareness Day, Nicky Mawdsley, Drug Related Death Prevention Co-Ordinator for Wirral, shares four simple harm reduction messages that could help keep you and others safer:

1️⃣ Carry naloxone
Naloxone can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose. Carry it with you and make sure the people around you know how to use it.

2️⃣ Don't use alone
If something goes wrong, having someone there means they can recognise the signs of an overdose and call for help.

3️⃣ Go low and slow
If you're using, taking less and allowing time to understand how your body is responding can reduce risk.

4️⃣ Use testing strips
Testing strips can help identify some unexpected substances, including certain potent opioids. They can't make drug use risk-free, but they can provide important information.

There is no completely safe way to use drugs. But knowing the risks, having naloxone and knowing what to do in an emergency can save a life.

💜 This International Overdose Awareness Day, let's talk about overdose without judgement and focus on prevention, support and saving lives.

If you or someone you know needs support with drugs or alcohol, Wirral Ways is here to help.

One experience can make you see things differently.

For International Overdose Awareness Day, Tony shares his personal experience of buying counterfeit tablets online and experiencing multiple overdoses.

Tony is still on his own journey, but he has chosen to speak openly about what happened to him, including spending four days in a coma, because he wants others to understand the risks of taking tablets that may not be what they appear to be.

This isn't about judgement. It's about sharing experiences, raising awareness and helping people make more informed decisions.

Something important is coming from Nange. 🌿

Too often, when we talk about people who use drugs, we begin with the substance and forget the person.

We forget the survivor.
The sex worker.
The friend.
The parent.
The artist.
The dreamer.
The person trying to survive.

At Nange, we want to change that conversation.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing voices from people with lived experience, challenging some of the myths surrounding drug use and harm reduction, and creating space for stories that are too often silenced by stigma.

Some will show their faces. Some will share their voices anonymously. But every person will tell their story on their own terms.

This is more than a campaign about substances.

It is about people.

BEHIND EVERY SUBSTANCE IS A STORY.

And we are ready to listen.
