The St. Mary’s County Health Department Behavioral Health Prevention Team and Beacon of Hope are partnering to host a Walk and Share Event for International Overdose Awareness Day on Thursday, August 31st from 6-8 pm at Church of the Ascension. We will be having a candlelight vigil at 6:30 pm. If you would like to share a photo of a loved one please email it to taylor.nickerson@maryland.gov and we will display it at the event. We will have a variety of partners tabling the event such as Harm Reduction Program, St. Mary’s Go Purple, Suicide Prevention, and more! All attendees will receive a drawstring backpack and water bottle while supplies last!

Overdose affects everyone. From grieving families to spontaneous first responders, the impacts of overdose are far-reaching and fall indiscriminately.
