2021 International Overdose Awareness Day

The Commonwealth Prevention Alliance (CPA) through a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), is initiating a media campaign to promote IOAD throughout Pennsylvania.
Using the PA Stop initiative, CPA has created Pennsylvania-specific IOAD messaging tools for any SCA, prevention provider, or coalition use freely this year, up to and including any commemorative efforts on August 31.
Please review the items below and consider using them in your community and on your social media platforms. We’re happy to help any group with these materials. If you have any questions, please fill out the Media Request Form and a team member will get back to you ASAP.

VIDEO PSA
There are two ways to share the video PSA. The first, recommended way is to simply share from YouTube just as you would any other video on social media. The second option is intended only for platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where you must upload a media clip to share video. Please only download and use the second option for those platforms. If you can share the video using the YouTube version as much as possible, it will allow for better evaluation of the campaign.
