💜 International Overdose Awareness Day 💜
August 31
Today, we remember the lives lost to overdose, honor the families and friends left behind, and stand beside those who are still fighting for recovery.
Every person lost had a name. A family. A story. A life that mattered. They are more than a statistic.
Today, we say their names.
Today, we remember.
Today, we raise awareness.
Today, we choose compassion over judgment.
We also celebrate those in recovery and remind them that their story isn’t over. There is hope. There is help. There is another day.
Remember those we’ve lost. Support those still struggling. Celebrate those in recovery.
Let’s continue to Love Like Ben and work together to bring awareness, prevention, education, and hope to our communities.
No family should have to know this pain. No one should have to face addiction alone.💜
