Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

It is a time to come together as a community to honor lives lost, support those affected, and take action to prevent future tragedies.

Overdose is preventable, and we all have a role to play. By sharing facts, showing compassion, and speaking up against stigma, we can create a culture of care and connection.

Let’s stand together for a healthier, more informed Oklahoma.
