Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services staff, along with Commissioner Jim Dvorak and Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand, at the Bicentennial Bell Building to raise awareness of International Overdose Awareness Day at the Great Geauga County Fair.  The Geauga County Commissioners issued a Resolution Recognizing August 31, 2023 as International Overdose Awareness Day in Geauga County, recognizing that people in our community are affected by overdose in many ways, whether it is a family member grieving the loss of a loved one, a friend or co-worker, and those who are on the front lines as a first responder or caregiver.

The theme of this year’s Overdose Awareness Day is to “recognize those people who go unseen”, honor those whose lives have been changed as a result of an overdose, and to let them know they are not left to bear the burden alone, that we see them, hear them, and offer strength to help them stand and raise awareness of the hidden impacts of overdose.
