Overdose Awareness Day

Home  >  Announcements  >  Overdose Awareness Day

As September inches closer and closer stress and anxiety can start to kick in with the start of School/College/University, our staff at ECUK want to remind you that as much as anxiety or stress relief medication may help you it can also be addictive, we want to remind you that taking more medication than what you are prescribed is classed as an overdose and can cause some serious complications in the future.

Overdose Awareness Day (ODAD) promotes the idea that overdose deaths are a tragedy that can be avoided. This day is set aside to recognise the sorrow felt by friends and family members whose loved ones have passed away or been permanently injured due to a drug overdose.
