Be part of honouring those affected by overdose as we hear from their guest speaker, fold cranes, and discuss how you can support them in promoting increased community awareness of overdose.

Please mark your calendar and register your interest in this event on Thursday, August 1, 2024, from 12.00-1.00pm via this link: International Overdose Awareness Day Launch 2024!
