Every connection matters.

This International Overdose Awareness Day, we recognize the power of community, trusted information, and lifesaving resources.

Across Philadelphia, CEO’s Place-Based Initiatives team works alongside trusted community messengers to meet residents where they are—on their doorsteps, in their neighborhoods, and in everyday community spaces.

Overdose prevention starts with connection.

Swipe through to see how this work is reaching Philadelphia communities.
