International Overdose Awareness Day | August 31
This International Overdose Awareness Day, let's come together to save lives, reduce stigma, and support healing in our communities.
Did you know? NaloxOne is available for pickup at Trickster Cultural Center
📍 190 S. Roselle Rd., Schaumburg, IL
Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose and help prevent tragedy. Having it available and knowing how to use it can make a difference.
Substance Use Disorders disproportionately impact Native communities. In 2021, 27.6% of American Indian and Alaska Native people age 12 and older had a Substance Use Disorder, compared to:
▪️ 17.2% of Black people
▪️ 17.0% of White people
▪️ 15.7% of Hispanic people
▪️ 8.0% of Asian people
Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community. Together, we can promote awareness, harm reduction, recovery, and compassion.
Let's honor those we've lost, support those in recovery, and help prevent overdose deaths through education and access to lifesaving resources.

✨ Celebrate the Monarch Migration! 🦋
Join us Saturday, September 19th as we honor the breathtaking journey of the monarch butterfly!
Enjoy a day filled with:
🌱 Educational activities
🎉 Family-friendly fun & community gathering
Did you know? The monarch butterfly became Illinois’ official state insect in 1975, thanks to the efforts of a passionate group of third graders from Decatur. Their idea took flight all the way to the governor’s desk!
These striking orange-and-black beauties travel thousands of miles each year—making their migration one of nature’s most incredible phenomena.
💛 Come learn, connect, and celebrate this amazing species with us!
