Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

For 25 years, this day has given us an opportunity to remember the people we’ve lost to overdose, support those who are grieving, and come together to raise awareness and save lives.

The reality is, we wish we didn’t need a day like this. But we do.

Overdose can impact anyone, in any community. The good news is that there are ways to prevent it. By educating ourselves, having honest conversations, looking out for one another, and making life-saving resources accessible, we can help prevent more families from experiencing this kind of loss.

We need this day today. Our hope is that one day, we won’t.

📷 One of the individuals pictures above saved the life of another pictured here by using Naloxone to prevent an overdose!

One quick dose of Naloxone can mean the difference between life and death. ❤️‍🩹

We’re proud to have distributed 32 Naloxone kits, 36 medication lockboxes, and 50 Deterra drug disposal pouches at Wings Over Camarillo this past Sunday.

This first photo reminds us why this work matters: How easy it is to save a life with Naloxone, that’s the power of carrying this lifesaving medication.

Don’t wait until you need it. Carry Naloxone. Learn how to use it. You could save a life.

💙 Free Naloxone kits and training are available through Saving Lives.

As we approach International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, let’s remember that behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a life worth saving.

Be prepared. Carry Naloxone. Save a life.

On July 9, Saving Lives Camarillo donated 10 medicine safes to the Family Justice Center Shelter, helping create safer homes for families in our community.

We were also honored to provide Chief Deputy District Attorney Brent Nibecker with a medicine safe to take home and help protect his own family from accidental drug-related harm.

Thank you to Chief Deputy District Attorney Brent Nibecker, Lorena Siquieros, and the Family Justice Center team for your partnership and dedication to protecting and supporting families.

Prevention starts with access to the right resources. Together, we can save lives. 💙💚🤍

Did you know all these truths? React with an emoji if yes!

🌊 Alcohol and water don't mix.
A day at the beach or on the boat can turn dangerous when alcohol is involved. Alcohol affects your judgment, balance, coordination, and reaction time, all critical skills around water. It also increases the risk of dehydration, fatigue, and drowning.

💙 Stay safe by:
• Waiting until you're done swimming or boating before drinking.
• Wearing a properly fitted life jacket while boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding.
• Never swimming alone.
• Keeping a close eye on children with a designated "water watcher."
• Learning CPR, you could save a life.

The safest memories are the ones where everyone makes it home.
