Tomorrow, August 31, is International Overdose Awareness Day. Join IDHS in raising awareness about substance use, recovery, and overdose prevention. “On International Overdose Awareness Day, we come together to remember and honor the people we have lost to substance use overdose and those that an overdose has impacted. On this day, we will stand in solidarity with families and communities as they mourn the loss of their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, family members, and friends. In addition, we will highlight and fight the stigma that contributes to an overdose and instead instill the hope that recovery happens. An overdose is preventable, and people who have a substance use disorder deserve the same care and respect as anyone else,” said Laura Garcia, LPC, MAAPS, CADC, Director of IDHS Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.

August 25-31 is Black Breastfeeding Week in Illinois! WIC plays a vital role in the promotion and support of breastfeeding. IDHS recognizes breastfeeding as the ideal nutrition for infants. The Proclamation signed by Governor Pritzker states, "Understanding racial equity in breastfeeding must be prioritized to address systemic injustices that prevent Black families from achieving their full breastfeeding potential and contribute to racial disparities in birth outcomes, pregnancy-related morbidity rates, and pregnancy-related mortality rates, making it essential to highlight the unique challenges facing Black families.” We’re thankful to Governor Pritzker for proclaiming August 25-31 as Black Breastfeeding Week in Illinois and are excited to continue connecting breastfeeding parents with resources in their communities. To learn more about WIC's breastfeeding resources, visit nwica.org.
