POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last weekend Tileyard North lit up our chimney purple for International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).

International Overdose Awareness Day is a global campaign to end overdose, reduce stigma, and remember those whose lives have been lost to overdose. It is also a time to acknowledge the grief felt by families, friends and communities affected by loss.

This year’s theme, ‘25 Years On. Still Needed.’, reflects on the progress made while recognising that overdose remains a significant issue affecting people around the world.
Every story shared, every voice raised, and every conversation started helps bring us closer to a future free from overdose.

If you or someone you know in Wakefield and the Five Towns needs support with drug or alcohol use, contact Wakefield District Drug and Alcohol Service Inspiring Recovery for confidential advice and support.

August is ending, but overdose prevention does not!

But keep in mind, overdose prevention is not a one day conversation.

It's not leaving the house without naloxone.
It's supporting access to safer supplies in our communities.
It's meeting people where they're at, without judgment.
It's educating ourselves and others to help end misinformation that fuels stigma.
It's keeping our loved ones alive!

International Overdose AWARENESS DAY may be August 31st. But overdose prevention initiatives are needed. Every. Single. Day.

Not the time to speculate or leverage a point. I just want to respect the life of a young man I only knew indirectly. I hope you can now rest.

I’ve always admired the dedication of @momsstoptheharm in supporting communities across Canada. I hope to see a branch in #Windsor one day—we need this kind of love and advocacy here, too. 🫂

Today was International Overdose Awareness Day 2025... always a very emotional day for me. But I am always surrounded by the most loving individuals. 💜

Rest in paradise to all our loved ones who left this world way too early 😔 💔 🫂

International Overdose Awareness Day reminds us that every overdose death is preventable. Too many lives are lost because stigma and criminalisation block access to lifesaving support.

At DPPM, we believe Malaysia needs a shift from punishment to health-centred, compassionate approaches. Evidence shows that drug decriminalisation and harm reduction save lives, protect communities, and uphold dignity.

Today, we honour those lost and call for policies that put people before punishment.

Behind every overdose is a preventable tragedy. Harm reduction and decriminalisation can stop the loss of lives. 💜 #OverdoseAwareness #DecriminaliseNow
