Today we remember the lives lost to overdose and stand with the families and communities forever changed by addiction.

Black balloons symbolize the grief carried by so many and the urgent need for compassion, awareness, and action. Every life lost was someone’s child, parent, sibling, or friend. Today we honor their memory and recommit to supporting those still struggling.

🖤 Remember the lives lost
🖤 Support those in recovery
🖤 End the stigma surrounding addiction

If you’ve lost someone, know you are not alone. Their lives mattered, and they will never be forgotten.

What's the big deal with drinking alcohol?
Alcohol acts as a depressant on the brain and nervous system. Think of a depressant like the opposite of caffeine (this is a stimulant!) Caffeine wakes you up, and alcohol slows you down physically and mentally.

Driving while impaired can lead to danger behind the wheel and on the roadways are your reaction times slow down and decision-making lapses.
