This Monday an event that is taking place all over the world will be observed in our community. International Overdose Awareness Day is being held in more than 40 countries worldwide. This is its 25th year. Its purpose is to take action and remember without stigma the lives lost or permanently injured by drug overdose. A local event is planned as we get more from the Play it Safer Network’s Madison McIntyre.
“So, on Monday, August 31st, the Play it Safer Network is hosting an event from 12 to 1:30 at Pioneer Square. It’s a free event, everyone’s welcome to attend, and there will be food, entertainment, information, naloxone training and we encourage everyone to attend.”
If you or somebody you know is interested in joining the Play It Safer Network or requires more information on services regarding substance abuse you can contact 204-681-3105.
