💜 International Overdose Awareness Day is held every year on August 31st. This day serves as a reminder to acknowledge those in our communities who are affected by overdose and to remember those whose lives have been lost.

🕯️ It is essential to equip our communities with the resources and support needed to prevent the fatal consequences of substance misuse and to provide access to evidence-based prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery services.

‼️ Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid overdose reversal medication that, when used quickly, may reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and, ultimately, save a life.

🖥️ SCDOH offers FREE Narcan and training for Saratoga County residents. If you’re interested, please visit: www.saratogacountyny.gov/narcan.

🖇️ For recovery services in Saratoga County, please visit: https://preventioncouncil.org/healing-springs/.

👓 Vision and eye health play such an important role in a child’s development, learning ability, and social engagement.

🦇 Did you know bats are more active in late summer? That means a higher risk of rabies exposure!

‼️ Bat bites can be tiny, so you might not even know you were bitten. That’s why finding a bat in a room with someone sleeping, a young child, a person with a sensory or mental disability, or a pet is taken seriously, even if there’s no visible bite or scratch.

🏡 If you find a bat in your home, try to safely capture it without touching it and contact your local health department.

🚙 We’ve all forgotten something in the car. Every year, dozens of children are forgotten in the back seat of a car by a parent or caregiver. It can happen to anyone – especially if the child is sleeping or if you are out of your routine.

⚠️ Even in temperatures as low as 60°F, the inside of a car can overheat quickly. Accidentally leaving a child behind could be deadly. Make sure to always check the back seat before you leave the car.

✏️ As you gather supplies and prep for the new school year, don’t forget to make sure your child’s vaccines are up to date! Staying on track with immunizations helps protect children and teens against vaccine-preventable diseases.
