More about Overdose Awareness Day:

The work of the Community Overdose Action Team seeks to reduce the number of people dying from drug overdoses and drug abuse.  The Community Overdose Action Team was established in the fall of 2016 to address the opioid/heroin epidemic in Montgomery County.  Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services, Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, and Montgomery County Administration are the lead agencies in the effort to combat the epidemic.

International Overdose Awareness Day was initiated in 2001 by Sally J Finn at The Salvation Army in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. Since 2001, many community members as well as government and non-government organizations have held events to raise awareness and commemorate those who have been lost to drug overdose.  This presented Public Health and the COAT team an opportunity to bring area agencies together to organize a collaborative effort to recognize this day in 2023. The goals is to bring community members together to recognize those that have been lost to the drug epidemic by an accidental overdose death, but to also recognize those that have survived overdoses and are working toward recovery.
