As Overdose Awareness Day—and the month of August—comes to an end, let us take a moment to remember all the loved ones we have lost to overdose. 🕊️💜
Today, we honor their lives, remember their names, and hold space for the families, friends, and communities who continue to carry their memory. Every life lost was someone who was loved, someone who mattered, and someone who should never be forgotten.
Overdose can affect anyone, and awareness, compassion, and access to lifesaving resources can make a difference. Naloxone saves lives, and having it available could mean having another chance to help someone make it through an overdose.
FREE naloxone can be ordered and mailed directly to you through: Linktr.ee/cantonoutreach
Today and every day, we remember. We honor. We continue the fight to save lives. 💜🕯️

Did you know ticks can be as small as a sesame seed or even a poppy seed? Small wonder then that you may not realize when you've been bitten by one. To prevent tickborne illnesses, make it a habit to check yourself, children and pets after spending time outdoors in grassy or wooded areas.

Take a minute and see if you can find the 10 ticks on the bagel.
