Commission proclaims June 6 Revive Awareness Day and schedules tree‑planting, naloxone distribution
Summary
The board adopted a proclamation establishing Revive Awareness Day on June 6 to honor overdose victims and promote naloxone access; county and state health officials will host a tree‑planting memorial and distribute naloxone kits at Paula A. Lewis Library.
The board adopted Resolution No. 26‑015 proclaiming June 6, 2026 as Revive Awareness Day in St. Lucie County to honor lives lost to opioid‑involved overdoses and to encourage prevention, treatment and recovery efforts.
Proclamation language presented by staff cites an estimated 602 opioid‑involved overdose deaths in St. Lucie County over the past decade and references statewide enactment of Senate Bill 66 (Victoria's Law) to expand naloxone access. Michelle Pasley of the Florida Department of Health’s opioid abatement team accepted the proclamation and announced a public commemoration: a tree‑planting ceremony on Saturday, June 6 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Paula A. Lewis Library, followed by free naloxone kits and tree seedling distribution.
The proclamation asks residents, health providers and community organizations to participate in remembrance and resilience activities and underscores ongoing efforts to coordinate prevention, early intervention and recovery supports.
