“[…] ensure the health and safety of all Ontarians. SCSs and CTSs reduce deaths, injuries, hospitalizations, emergency room visits and the incidence of HIV and hepatitis. These sites keep people alive and provide a gateway to supportive services, including addiction treatment.”

Toronto Harm Reduction Alliance@NoHarmToronto

Ontario government could face potential legal challenge over supervised consumption site ban ⁦⁦@fordnation⁩ knows this is a Charter violation & that people will die. He doesn’t care about #ontario families who will be affected by #overdose deaths globalnews.ca/video/10870542…

“Over the past year, more than 4,000 visits to ERs in Toronto were made by a small group of 100 unhoused people. Now, the city’s University Health Network is supporting Dunn House, a project offering homes to people in that group, with onsite medical and social supports.”

“[…] future overdose risk among people who inject drugs (PWID) are needed to inform planning of targeted overdose preventions in the United States.” #PWUD #harmreduction #PWID
Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports@DrugAlcReports

New study in a predominantly Black sample in Baltimore, MD tracks overdose risk in #PWID. While prior #overdose was the strongest predictor of future overdose, insights into buprenorphine and methadone treatment were also discovered. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We have plenty of folks using the site pain management reasons. Why should pain be a daily obstacle, having to live without relief? #painispain #toxicdrugsupply #harmreduction #kensingtonmarket
Bill Kinkle, EMT-P, RN, CRS🇺🇸@billkinkle

When I’ve used drugs in ways that led to addiction it was always to treat pain, physical or mental. When I hear people talk about medications that have a potential for abuse it always stuns me because someone desiring to alleviate pain is not abuse, it’s a normal human response.

We need to provide mental health support without framing drug use as a disorder. People use drugs for many reasons, including pleasure and coping. Let's embrace this complexity and advocate for evidence-based discussions about drug use and mental health. #WorldMentalHealthDay

“That’s why it’s more accurate to say that the drug supply in Canada is “toxic” rather than talking about the “overdose crisis.”[…] A single grain of fentanyl or carfentanil can be lethal. “ #toxicdrugsupply #harmreduction cmha.ca/brochure/preve…
