Media Advisory: Shatter the Stigma 2021 begins August 31

Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) and the Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities (Alliance) are partnering on International Overdose Awareness Day to commemorate lives lost to overdose, while also providing resources to families and friends who endured the loss of a loved one to overdose.

The Alliance will also kick off Shatter the Stigma 2021, a month-long virtual fundraiser, education and awareness effort, held during National Recovery Month. Funds raised ensure that every individual, family and young person gets the support they need with substance misuse prevention, recovery and wellness. The virtual event runs through Sept. 30.
