Prevent Together: Battle Ground Prevention Alliance

08/21/2026

Every life lost to an opioid overdose is a big deal, especially to the
friends, family, and community left behind. After 25 years of coming
together for International Overdose Awareness Day, we know
that small, everyday steps—like carrying naloxone—are still needed
and still make all the difference. You can help keep the people
around you safe.

When someone survives an opioid overdose, it’s because someone
else stepped in to help. Our lives are deeply connected, and looking
out for each other gives us the power to keep one another safe.
Overdose is preventable when we act together. That’s as true and as
needed today—on the 25th International Overdose Awareness Day—
as it always has been.
