The overdose epidemic has taken an unimaginable toll on our community. Families, friendships, and neighborhoods have been devastated by easy access to highly lethal, highly addictive drugs.

On August 31 of each year, survivors and loved ones of those lost to overdose are honored on International Overdose Awareness Day. The initiative has resonated with communities around the globe as we all see our homes, neighborhoods, and schools affected by the public health crisis of substance misuse and overdose.

Here in Milwaukee, the RISE Drug Free MKE community coalition has organized annual International Overdose Awareness Day events since 2017, and we are hosting two community events later this month to support our friends, families, and loved ones on their path to healing.

Please join us.
