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.
