Events

The importance of what we at Long Branch H.E.A.R.S. do resonates profoundly at our main event late in August each year.  On International Overdose Awareness Day we acknowledge those souls who have lost their battle with substance use. The statistics speak for themselves and drive our resolve to never forget what we stand for.  The lives lost to this insidious disease and the sheer numbers of those at risk are why we will never quit.   Although a somber event, we focus on what we do best; bringing awareness to the ravages of this disease and advocating for change, as well as shedding light on those who find sobriety and sustain recovery.  Our hope is that one day we will not need an overdose awareness day, but until then we will not give up.
