โ ๐International Overdose Awareness Day๐โ
๐The Redding Rancheria recognizes August 31 as International Overdose Awareness Day. It was established in 2001 in Melbourne, Austrailia, to honor those who have lost their lives to overdose, support those affected, and raise awareness. Native communities are disproportionately impacted by overdose and continue to experience some of the highest rates of overdose-related deaths.
๐We provide naloxone, fentanyl test strips, harm reduction supplies, and recovery support that respects Native traditions. On this day, we stand together to reduce stigma, save lives, and help our community heal๐
