International Overdose Awareness Day | 31 August

Overdose Awareneess

 

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those who have lost their lives to overdose, support those affected, and raise awareness that overdose can happen to anyone.

Knowing the signs of an overdose and acting quickly could save a life.

If you’re worried about your own drug or alcohol use, or you’re concerned about someone else, please know that support is available. Speaking up can make a real difference.

If someone is unconscious, not breathing normally, or you think they may have overdosed, call 999 immediately.
