August is National Overdose Awareness Month

By August 14, 2026No Comments

August is National Overdose Awareness Month, a global campaign dedicated to honoring loved ones lost to drug overdoses, supporting grieving families, and reducing the stigma of addiction.

If you or know someone who is in need of support, the Christi Center offers in-person Loss to Overdose groups at the Christi Center, located at 2306 Hancock Dr., Austin, Texas 78756.  You can view our meeting dates at: christicenter.org/calendar/loss-to-overdose-in-person

Please complete our intake form at: christicenter.org/get-started or call our intake line at: 512-467-2600.

Participants benefit from the ability to talk about their loved ones’ struggles with addictions and the support of individuals who are also coping with a loss to overdose. We offer a safe space to express yourself and provide coping strategies to help manage the particularly complex emotions associated with loss to overdose.

Our Loss to Overdose and Addictions Group meets monthly on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month.
