August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day.
It is a day to remember without stigma those we have lost to overdose, acknowledge grief of those left behind, and take action toward ending the overdose epidemic.

Gauchos for Recovery will be hosting an overdose prevention kit distribution from 2-4 PM on Wednesday 8/31, outside Embarcadero Hall.
Free Naloxone/Narcan and fentanyl test strips will be available for any member of the UCSB community.
There will also be a tribute wall for people to write names/tributes to anyone lost to overdose.
If you are unable to make the event and would like us to post someone's name and/or a statement about them on the tribute wall, please email [email protected]
