International Overdose Awareness Day: Still Needed

  • 18 hours ago
  • 1 min read

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost and hold space for the families and friends forever changed by overdose.


“Still needed” reflects a shared truth: overdose continues to affect people and families from every walk of life. But overdose is preventable. Through education, access to care and support, and life-saving interventions, we can reduce harm and save lives.


If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Taking more medication won’t take away the pain. Reaching out for help can make a difference. Call 988 or visit hicares.hawaii.gov for support.


Together, we can raise awareness, spread hope, and help save lives.


We remember. We act. We continue, together.
