City Council Proclaims August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day

At their August 18 meeting, our City Council proclaimed August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day. We encourage anyone whose life has been impacted by substance abuse disorder to call the Washington Recovery Helpline at 1-866-789-1551.

International Overdose Awareness Day is the world’s annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.
