OUR WORK IS ESSENTIAL

Over 1 million U.S. adults have died from a drug overdose since 2000.

More than 100,000 drug overdose deaths occur each year in the United States.

Many overdose deaths occur among adults of childbearing and parenting ages.

Parental death during childhood increases the risk for adverse mental health, suicide, and substance use disorder.

People who are grieving an overdose death often experience unique stigma.

Bereavement programs can help families cope with their grief.
