Our office continues to hear from families, front-line workers and young people who are being impacted by the toxic drug crisis. We need to keep young people alive so they can heal. Addressing the toxic drug supply is a critical step. #ToxicDrugCrisis #YouthDeaths #DontLookAway

As the toxic drug crisis continues, fear, stigma, and public pressure are narrowing the space for balanced, evidence-informed, and child-centred policy and practice. We can and must do so much better #PoisonedSupply #YouthWellBeing #ToxicDrugCrisis #BCYouth #PublicHealth

Making this happen, is a responsibility we all share. Read more about this important day here: dayofpink.org/en/home#:~:tex…. #InternationalDayofPink
