International Overdose Awareness Month
Working together to end overdose
Jefferson County Public Health, the Jeffco Substance Use Partnership and our collaborating partners across the county are working to #endoverdose. In observance of International Overdose Awareness Day/Month, we're facilitating key activities to better inform our community and make a direct impact in addressing overdose.

opportunity
Calling all creatives! We're soliciting artwork from people who have been affected overdose to be displayed in JCPH's Parfet Building and this website with the hopes of sharing your powerful stories. Submissions can be anything we can display on a wall (drawing, painting, poetry, photography, graphic design, etc.) - To submit your work, please email a digital copy to Michael Miller at mmiller@jeffco.us
