Awareness & Recovery in Action

Shatterproof is a national nonprofit transforming how addiction is treated in America. By advancing policy, improving healthcare systems, reducing stigma, and supporting families, we’re building a future where more people get the help they need and addiction never defines or ends a life.

International Overdose Awareness Day (8/31) and National Recovery Month (September) are powerful opportunities to bring hope, education, and action into our communities. 

We invite you to participate in local activities throughout August and September to help raise awareness, reduce stigma, support recovery, and connect others to lifesaving resources. 

There are many ways to get involved, regardless of your experience level or available time. 

• Attend a local event
• Table on behalf of Shatterproof
• Participate in or host a Save a Life Day
• Share awareness through social media
• Support Love People Loudly Day (awareness or submit a proclamation)
• Create your own community activity
