International Overdose Awareness Day
EBPC has participated in the annual August 31st recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day by bringing organizations and members of the community together to remember those lost to overdose deaths and to bring awareness to the topics of substance misuse and addiction. EBPC’s “Reflections of Hope and Healing” program drew 32 community organizations, speakers, musicians and 150-200 participants from across Middle Tennessee. We supported individuals and families by connecting them to resources, educated the community, honored loved ones lost to one of the most baffling diseases of our time with powerful testimonials and stirring music, offered education on the reversal medication “Narcan,” and most importantly inspired hope.

“Very grateful for your willingness to talk about these “uncomfortable” topics and for helping others remove the stigma and to start understanding we can all play a role in supporting others in need.” (Audience Member, Post-Documentary Survey)
