Overdose Awareness Day March to City Pier

Dozens of people gathered for Overdose Awareness Day on August 31 to raise awareness of substance use disorder (SUD), reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths, remember those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of those left behind. The crowd joined representatives from NOHN and Peninsula Behavioral Health to march from the Clallam County Courthouse to Port Angeles City Pier, where many shared stories and honored loved ones lost.
