Overdose Awareness Week: International Overdose Awareness Day
Please check back! This toolkit will be updated with materials closer to the observance.
During Overdose Awareness Week, we come together to remember the lives lost to overdose, support those still struggling, and take meaningful action toward change.
Additionally, August 31 marks International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), a global, annual campaign to end overdose. SAMHSA mourns with the families and friends who have lost loved ones to overdose, and we renew our commitment to preventing these tragic deaths.
SAMHSA’s commitment during Overdose Awareness Week and every week reflects the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy priorities to reduce overdose deaths, stop drug use before it starts, and increase access to treatment. Together, we’re working to protect Americans, build stronger communities, and Making America Healthy Again.
