The goals of International Overdose Awareness Day are to:
Provide an opportunity for people to publicly mourn loved ones.
Tell people who use drugs and people in recovery that they are valued.
Inform people around the world about the risk of drug overdose.
Provide basic information on the range of support services that are available.
Prevent and reduce drug-related harms by supporting evidence-based practice.
This IOAD, we affirm that when we work together to heal and empower communities, we can save lives and end overdoses.
