International Overdose Awareness Day
International Overdose Awareness Day
With the increasing drug problem in countries all over the world, in many cases, tragedies happen
With the increasing drug problem in countries all over the world, in many cases, tragedies happen. For those who suffer from the consequences of overdose, it can be hard for families to cope with the after-effects of what happened. It can also be hard for people who don't understand to find sympathy for those families. International Overdose Awareness Day is all about bridging the gap between those who don't understand and those who know it all too well.
International Overdose Awareness Day acknowledges the grief that families feel when they lose someone to overdose and the struggles that a family member suffers from after their incident. This holiday sends a few messages out to the public. Because overdose is a complicated and personal topic for many, this holiday aims to break down the fear and prejudice that is created by the stigmas of drug overdosing in society.
Instead of bringing hate, it seeks to bring compassion and understanding to the families involved, and that suffer the consequences of overdosing.
