International Overdose Awareness Day

Every August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) brings a global community together to take action on overdose. It is a global platform that provides tools, resources and a space for communities to connect and drive change. Through events – both in person and online – communities honor lives lost, educate their families, friends and peers, and explore evidence-based overdose prevention solutions.
