Today we want to commemorate #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay. This year’s theme, “recognising those people who go unsees”, honours the people whose lives have been altered by overdose. They are the family and friends grieving the loss of a loved one; workers in healthcare and support services extending strength and compassion; or spontaneous first responders who selflessly assume the role of lifesaver. #weseeyou

Let us acknowledge and support the people in our communities who go unrecognised by raising awareness of the hidden impacts of overdose, promoting education on overdose response, and reaching out to politicians to make lasting, lifesaving policy changes while continuing to raise awareness and support those in need. #TimeToRememberTimeToAct
