💜 On Overdose Awareness Day, our Footprints to Recovery family came together across the country to remember, reflect, and stand in hope.

📍 In Illinois, we offered Narcan training and closed the evening with a candlelight vigil, honoring those we’ve lost and empowering our community with life-saving tools.
📍 In Colorado, our team held a candlelight vigil, creating a space of comfort, reflection, and unity.
📍 In New Jersey, we joined a community event alongside other facilities, coming together in solidarity and ending with a candlelight vigil to honor lives lost.

Each flame we lit carried love, remembrance, and a promise—to keep fighting for recovery, to support those still struggling, and to never forget the ones we’ve lost.

08/31/2025

💜 Today, we remember.

We honor the lives lost to overdose, hold space for the families and friends grieving, and stand alongside those in recovery. Every life matters, and every story deserves to be heard.

International Overdose Awareness Day is a call to action, to break the stigma, to offer compassion over judgment, and to ensure no one walks their journey alone. Together, we can raise awareness, support healing, and prevent future tragedies.

💚 If you or someone you love is struggling, please know there is hope, there is help, and there is a community ready to stand beside you.
