August 30th is National Grief Awareness Day. At Prevention Point, we know the deep & complicated grief of losing loved ones to substance use all too well. Today and always, give yourself grace, time, and kindness.

It’s Overdose Awareness Day, so I just want to say that harm reduction matters, and harm reduction works, and harm reduction needs support. Talk about it, fight for it, and make sure people are able to use it. Too many of us have lost people we love. We don’t need to lose more.

This #OverdoseAwarenessDay read Devin's Story by guest writer Theo Fountain. This story features a person in recovery, written by the friend who once used alongside him in Kensington. Thrilled that Devin & Theo are in recovery, building fulfilling lives. ppponline.org/blog/devins-su…
