Aug. 31 is Ohio Overdose Awareness Day

8/29/2022

On Wednesday, Aug. 31, Ohio will recognize Ohio Overdose Awareness Day with a goal of raising awareness, supporting communities in the fight against drug addiction and remembering loved ones lost to the epidemic. As a way to help the state and local communities promote Ohio Overdose Awareness Day, RecoveryOhio, the Ohio Department of Health and Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services have partnered to create this Ohio Overdose Awareness Day Toolkit with the theme "Everyone Knows Someone. Overdoses Impact Us All."

This toolkit features social media graphics and posts, videos, posters and digital ads that local communities and organizations can use to raise awareness on Ohio Overdose Awareness Day. These assets include images from real Ohioans who have shared their stories of recovery and made it a priority to share that recovery is possible. Visit RecoveryOhio.Gov for more information as well as an ever-growing list of how Ohio plans to observe Ohio Overdose Awareness Day.
