Observed on August 31st annually, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) seeks to reduce overdose related harms by reducing stigma and educating our communities to create a better understanding of substance use issues. This year, 5 communities in HPE will host events focused on “Support Not Stigma”.

This Youth2Youth panel event developed in partnership with Addictions and Mental Health Services HPE will provide a youth perspective, giving youth the opportunity to engage with local community experts and those with lived experiences to have their questions answered.
