This year's theme for #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay is "Recognizing those people who go unseen," acknowledging people in our communities who are affected by overdose. From grieving families to spontaneous responders, overdose impacts are far-reaching.

As we mark #OverdoseAwarenessDay, let's remember behind each overdose statistic is a real person with a family left behind. Many parents are among those who overdose. It's time to speak out about these hidden struggles, end stigma, and offer a helping hand to those in need. #IOAD
