Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we come together to honor the lives of those lost to overdose and support those still struggling with addiction. On this day, we ask that you take the day as not just a moment of remembrance, but a call to action and help educate others and prevent future overdoses. Overdose is preventable. We treat overdose in the community by raising awareness, educating others, and advocating for harm reduction.

*Subject: Educate Youth About Kush Before It’s Too Late* If you suspect someone is using Kush, support them in seeking help. Talk to a healthcare worker or call 117 for advice and assistance. If you know someone who has recently undergone treatment or rehabilitation for Kush addiction, be there for them on their recovery journey. Relapses can occur, so they will need moral support and compassion to remain Kush-free. Help them reintegrate and thrive in our communities. **Break Down the Stigma:** Kush users are our children, siblings, and friends; they could be any of us. Treat them with dignity, respect, and without judgment.

Join us in raising awareness for overdose awareness month this August. Let's come together to educate ourselves and others on the signs of overdose, how to prevent it, and how to support those who may be struggling with addiction.

Let's work towards a safer and healthier community for all. #OverdoseAwarenessMonth #EndTheStigma #SupportAndEducate

Opioid #addiction isn't just an individual struggle—it's a battle that deeply affects families and communities, causing emotional, financial, and social impacts. Families often face immense stress watching a loved one fight addiction, leading to feelings of helplessness, guilt, and frustration. This strain can sometimes fracture relationships as trust erodes and communication breaks down. However, hope remains. With access to education and resources, families can effectively support their loved ones. Programs focused on family therapy and support groups offer safe spaces to share experiences and coping strategies. By fostering open communication and mutual support, families can rebuild trust and navigate the path to recovery together. Visit https://lnkd.in/g8T2itXs for more information.

Hello friends family and acquaintances today is NATIONAL FAMILY DAY | Fourth Monday in September! On the fourth Monday in September, National Family Day encourages everyone to gather around the table and enjoy a meal together. The old saying goes, "Families who eat together, stay together," but did you know they may also be reducing the risk of addiction? According to the National Center on Addiction, families who eat three or more meals a week together reduce a teen's risk of using tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. That's a fantastic outcome on its own. Family bonding is just a bonus. However, there are more benefits. For example, families who eat together also learn healthy eating habits, eat smaller portions, and are less likely to stress about food. And back to the bonding - when parents engage with their children over a meal, their relationships are better. They learn responsibility while helping to prepare the meal and cleaning up. Children feel like they are a part of a unit, a team. They connect with the people who mean the most to them and who know them the best. Parents become and remain the people they turn to when the significant problems crop up. Look forward to conversations about grades, dating, borrowing the car, and moving away. Don't forget the debates about politics. Our children won't always agree with us - and that's ok. Why? Because we raise them to be independent thinkers and to express themselves effectively. These conversations start at a dinner table. They shouldn't begin when our children's world turns upside down. #NationalFamilyDay #dallasharristips
