Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

For 25 years, IOAD has brought people together to remember people who have died from overdose, support families and communities affected by loss, and take action to help prevent overdose.

This year's theme, "25 Years On. Still Needed.", reminds us that behind every statistic is a person — someone loved, valued, and missed.

Remember. Support. Prevent.

August is , where we recognize that substance use disorders affect people from all walks of life and prevention can stop substance use before it starts.

NJAMHAA believes that prevention works by strengthening protective factors and reducing risk factors in individuals, families, schools, communities, and society.

As we recognize , keep in mind that prevention is a year-round activity.

NJAMHAA is proud to applaud a $16.45 million investment from New Jersey Human Services to launch Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Centers (CRSCs) across the state.

This funding, including $14.95 million in state dollars and $1.5 million in federal Mental Health Block Grant funding, will support five regionalized centers in Bergen, Camden, Essex, Monmouth, and Morris counties. These centers will give individuals in crisis a community-based alternative to emergency departments, offering immediate assessment, stabilization, and connection to ongoing care as part of New Jersey's 988 continuum.

NJAMHAA, Inseparable, other stakeholders, state policymakers, and legislative leadership advocated for this investment. We commend Governor Mikie Sherrill, Senate President Nicholas Scutari, Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin, Assemblywoman Carol Murphy, Senator Joe Vitale , and Andrea Katz for their sustained leadership on New Jersey's crisis response system, and we thank Commissioner Stephen Cha and the Department of Human Services for turning that commitment into action.
