The HSE’s Waterford HSE Substance Misuse Services will mark International Overdose Awareness Day by holding an information event on Awareness and Information on Overdose and Overdose Prevention.
The HSE team, in partnership with the South East Family Support Network, will be hosting a stand from 2:00pm – 4:00pm on Wednesday 28th August in Waterford Central Library (Lady Lane, Waterford X91 V045), where information will be available towards creating an awareness of overdose, the responses to overdose and the supports available to individuals or families affected by overdose.
#IOAD – International Overdose Awareness Day (observed on August 31 every year) – seeks to create a better understanding of overdose, reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths and create change that reduces the harms associated with drug use. This year the HSE’s Waterford Substance Misuse Services were keen to mark the event by providing education and awareness to service users, their families and also to the wider community.
