Overdose Awareness Day: Resource Fair & Community Vigil

FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

Westbrook Youth and Family Services invites you to join us on the Westbrook Town Green on August 31st from 6pm - 8pm for our second annual Overdose Awareness Day event, featuring a resource fair and community vigil.

August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day, which is an annual global campaign to take action on overdose. Communities around the world acknowledge this day with events to honor the lives lost to overdose, offer education and resources, and explore overdose prevention solutions.

• Find resources from local agencies and organizations focused on prevention, recovery, mental health, grief, etc.
• Honor those lost to overdose through memorial activities - - if your life has been touched by overdose, we invite you to bring photos of your loved ones to hang on our tribute board.
• Take home prevention materials, including Narcan/naloxone, medication lock boxes, and drug disposal bags.
• Find support in community as we gather, enjoying food, music, and speakers

Food provided for attendees by local food truck, Food Extrovert

RAIN LOCATION: WYFS Group Room, located at 1163 Boston Post Rd.
