International Overdose Awareness Day
About International Overdose Awareness Day
International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD), August 31, is a time to remember lives lost to the drug poisoning health emergency. It is also a time to work together for change. MOCAT is dedicated to advocating for change while creating meaningful arts-based dialogues in the community. Our aim is to bring awareness to the ongoing crisis as well as empower people to bring compassion into their understanding of this complicated issue.


We lose sight of the beauty that lies within each individual… We lose loved ones.
