Rachel W.Addiction and overdose can happen to anyone, regardless of socio-economic background, race, creed, culture, ethnicity, etc.
Rather than look the other way , judge, or have a saviour complex, try to meet people where they are at. Listen to their stories. Advocate for safer spaces and harm reduction. People that have substance misuse issues and addictions are not just someone's mother, father, sister, brother, child, etc..they are someone.

Tehy ryTänään vietetään kansainvälistä yliannostuskuolemien ehkäisyn teemapäivää. Tapaturmaiset huumemyrkytyskuolemat ovat kasvussa. Myrkytystilan oireita ei aina tunnisteta riittävän aikaisin ja hätänumeroon soitetaan liian myöhään.
Päihdemyrkytyksen merkkeihin reagoimalla ja oikea-aikaisella avun hälyttämisellä on mahdollista pelastaa toinen ihminen. Nukkuvalta näyttävällä ihmisellä voi olla päihdemyrkytys. Hälytä apua ja pelasta kaveri huumekuolemalta.
It's International #OverdoseAwarenessDay.
#Opioid dependence is not a self-acquired bad habit but a complex #MentalHealth condition.

Kristyn Wong-TamSpoke today at the flag-raising ceremony for #OverdoseAwarenessDay at #Toronto City Hall. Thank you #BlackCAPTO and Flags of Hope for organizing today's commemoration. This #OAD2024 is feeling heavier with communities working to preserve #Ontario’s life-saving services that Ford is cancelling. I will stand with community and fight for the mental health care and addiction services our communities deserve.
