July 11th 2024 is the eighth year of the World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day (W-BAD). W-BAD is a grassroots victim-organized campaign that seeks to raise global awareness about the harms and dangers of prescribed benzodiazepines. Visit their official website at http://w-bad.org Information about the dangers of benzodiazepines will be distributed at the event.  Some objectives of our event include: Education and awareness Providing victims a sense of purpose Validating the damage sustained by sufferers Acknowledging a medication-induced health condition Building a sense of camaraderie so sufferers, supporters and their loved ones do not feel alone “World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day aims to highlight the plight of all patients worldwide who have become prescribed-drug dependents through no fault of their own, who are denied right of access to dedicated withdrawal clinics and aftercare, who are left to struggle off these drugs without support.” —Barry Haslam, Chair of W-BAD Participants will walk or run a course beginning and ending at Act Natural Health & Wellness, 131 Main Street Thomaston, CT. There are alternatives to drugs, and we can find solutions together as a community. Won’t you please consider being part of the solution and activate the healer in you by becoming active! To register, volunteer, or donate, click here and sign up. All participants must read the waiver on the registration form. Submitting the form constitutes your agreement to the terms of our waiver. Contact Pam at info@actnaturalhealth.com for more information. “Each year, W-Bad honors the victims of benzodiazepine effects and their families. To those who’ve lost loved ones or personally suffered inconceivable damage as a result of taking these drugs, we pay tribute to you – and hope to raise awareness to both prescribers and patients of the unfathomable dangers involved. If you know anyone who is currently suffering or is considering taking a benzodiazepine, please share this information with them. If you’ve been injured – know that you are not alone.” Pam Pinto is the U.S. Connecticut Representative for W-BAD.org  She is helping to raise awareness of the horrors and potential dangers of these drugs as she continues to help her mother withdrawal from benzos. Pam is also continuing her education
