Overdose Awareness Day

Dear friends of the Hub,

International Overdose Awareness Day is August 31st and the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind. The campaign raises awareness of overdose, which is one of the worst public health crises, stimulating action and discussion about overdose prevention. We acknowledge the profound grief felt by families and friends whose loved ones have died or suffered permanent injury from a drug overdose and want to do everything we can to inform and protect our community.

We have many events coming up starting with our August Community Conversations - Overdose Prevention Training, The Hub 5K and Family Fun Run on September 4th, and an opportunity to do More Good while supporting the Hub!

Overdose Prevention Training

Register and join the Hub for a free, live online NARCAN training on Thursday, August 19th from 7 pm-9 pm.

Warning signs of a mental health crisis - how to help someone who may be struggling - signs of an opioid overdose - how to administer Naloxone (Narcan) to REVERSE an overdose.

The Hub 5K and Family Fun Run

Fundraising events like the Hub 5K and Family Fun Run allow us to continue to offer free programs, education, and support for all of our community members.
