Today, we recognize International Overdose Awareness Day 💜
In 2025, Massachusetts reported 978 confirmed and estimated opioid-related overdose deaths, falling below 1,000 for the first time in over a decade.
While this progress matters, every number represents a person, a family, and a community impacted by overdose.
Today, we remember those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and continue working toward prevention, connection, and recovery. 💜
