Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Eight years ago, I lost my cousin Alycia to a heroin overdose. I miss her every day.

Overdose affects everyone. In Congress, I will fight to hold drug dealers accountable for the death of users like Alycia.

On #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay we take action to address overdose deaths. This year during Overdose Awareness Week I want to uplift the efforts of Sandusky County Public Health whose work cut Opioid deaths in half. There’s a long way to go—but together we are helping to address this epidemic.

Opinion | Overdose Prevention Centers Aren't a Radical Concept They add value to a larger public health strategy to help fight the overdose crisis

"Instead of focusing on a choice between 'abstinence or harm reduction,' I encourage a reframing...in medicine, there is no one-size-fits-all...why not first explore the patient's goals and offer options based on their needs?" says Dr. Leslie Suen. #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay

Today is Overdose Awareness Day - a day to bring attention to the toxic drug crisis which resulted in 16 deaths in Canada every day between 2016 and 2023 AND resulted in 600,000 brain injuries in the same period.
