International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is observed on or around August 31. It is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.

Join us for a powerful keynote presentation featuring Laura Hatton. Laura will present “Let’s Talk About Grief,” as she reflects on the death of her daughter, Kat Spidle, to overdose. Don’t miss this meaningful conversation about love, loss and resilience.

We encourage you to bring a photo or memento of your loved one to display on the Memory Table.
