With your partnership, we can make a difference

Prevention and treatment of drug overdoses improve when we raise our voices as one. When we come together, our communities are heard.

CDC and partners celebrate health awareness and observances each year. They are powerful focal points to rally around and make a difference. Below you will find links to information, tools, and resources on yearly observances related to drug overdose topics. These toolkits are meant to inform the public and spread awareness.

Your message combined with others can reach the world. Working together, we become stronger. For more information about partnership opportunities, contact us today at dopinquiries@cdc.gov.
