On International Overdose Awareness Day, we honor lives lost, uplift families impacted, and remind ourselves of a truth we cannot ignore: overdose does not discriminate. 🌍

The loss of one life ripples far beyond a single person or family, it touches classrooms, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities everywhere. In these moments, we are reminded that our lives are deeply connected.

Today, let’s honor the lives we’ve lost, support those still struggling, and commit to building a future rooted in care, awareness, and unity. 🙏

The Department of Behavioral is committed to providing easily accessible resources for anyone who needs them.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use, call our free confidential Substance Use Disorder Helpline at (800) 968-2636.

We are here for you. 💜
