INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY
August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day — a crucial moment to shed light on the rising overdose rates and address the stigma surrounding drug-related deaths.
Join us in making a stand against the opioid epidemic and honoring those we’ve lost. On August 30th, visit our pop-up locations from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. to pick up a free Narcan kit:
• Destiny’s Inn Parking Lot
• Kanonhkwa’tsheri:io Health Facility
On August 31st, show your support by donning a purple t-shirt and joining us at the Tewathahitha Walking Trail at 7:30 p.m. for a luminary display and a reflective walk in remembrance.
We invite the entire Akwesasne community to wear purple on August 31st and stand united for International Overdose Awareness Day. #EndOverdoseAkwesasne
