Harm Reduction and the Overdose Crisis
March 19, 2018
We have seen increasing numbers of people overdosing and dying from unsafe drugs in the last few years. The effect of this crisis on individuals, families and communities is resulting in increasing fear and concerns. The overdose crisis has lead to changes in harm reduction, healthcare strategies and public health policy.
What is the actual situation in our community?
What is the citywide, national, and global context?
What can individuals and local community organizations do to in response to this challenge?
Join us for a community conversation with individuals and organizations such as the South Riverdale Community Health Centre who are tackling this issue in our community and beyond.
Time: 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
