Township Recognizes Overdose Awareness Month

August 10, 2025

Turtlecreek Township is joining other communities to recognize Overdose Awareness Month during August.  International Overdose Awareness Day is August 31st as a way to lead into September, which is National Recovery Month.

In honor of those who work to help themselves or others struggling with addiction, the Township's Administration Building and Fire Department Buildings will be illuminated with purple spotlights at the end of August.  

As a reminder, help is available.  If you or anyone you know is experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis, you can dial or text 988 for access to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.  This free lifeline connects you to a trained specialist who can provide help confidentially.
