If you are in Victoria, please join me and be part of a national call for Housing Justice today, November 22 at noon at the BC legislature. National Housing Day. #R2Housing #allforhomes #homesforall ahomeforall.ca
A new housing-based MAP has opened in Whitehorse. “The program is targeted toward people with treatment-resistant AUD. Residents will receive counselling, social support, health care and cultural activities — as well as monitored doses of alcohol.” cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
🚨Publication alert🚨 An exploration of participant experiences at an Indigenous-led MAP, co-led by @nursembrown. "An Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction program within a model of culture as healing facilitated shifts in relationships to alcohol..." harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
In Canada, alcohol is legal & we have a safe supply of booze. So why do some people drink mouthwash? And why does the state over-police poor people for public drinking? In our new episode we investigate with @VANDUpeople's Illicit Drinkers Group (EIDGE).crackdownpod.com/episodes/episo…
You'll learn about alcohol-specific harm reduction, the history of alcohol policy in the DTES & how the illicit drinkers community has kept themselves safe from @VANDUpeople's Herb Varley, John Onland, Brittany Graham, @Aaron_R_Bailey and Professor @BerniePauly.
“Reducing alcohol harms whilst minimising impact on hospitality businesses: ‘Sweetspot’ policy options” by @NiamhCreate et al (2024) via @ijdrugpolicy…what does alcohol harm reduction look like to you? Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #HarmReduction
'"This is where the greatest risk is," Gauvin said. "Unpalatable substances can wreak havoc on a person's health more rapidly than regular consumable alcohol."' chroniclejournal.com/news/local/peo…
Special thanks to the EIDGE Steering Committee, whose ideas, stories, and labour are captured by this issue. Herb Varley Sven Black George Sedore John Onland Jane Milina Tyler Byrd BoomBoom (3/3).
Inspired by Bill 34 struggles, the membership of our Eastside Illicit Drinkers Group for Education (EIDGE) has been working on telling our own stories as tools for policy change. The EIDGE leadership is excited to share its new zine, which we hope will do just that. (2/3)
"Living on the EIDGE" is a brand new VANDU Zine produced by and for illicit drinkers! (1/3) vandu.org/wp-content/upl…
"I think there’s a number of benefits to managed alcohol programs, and we’ve seen them in other areas across the country,” said Cameron Grandy, the territory’s director of mental wellness and substance use services." aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
New research out of Hamilton, ON: "Physicians, social workers, addiction counsellors, and other allied health providers should collaborate to conduct SBIRT for all actively drinking patients admitted for AAH or DARLC." academic.oup.com/jcag/advance-a…
Sooooooo proud and happy for these two incredible nurse scholars & researchers. Today, they are officially Dr. Brown & Dr. Sullivan!! @UVicNursing #safersupply @CMAPStudy @UVic_CISUR @nursembrown
@CMAPStudy @OutreachSolid @UVic_CISUR @CoLab_CISUR @VANDUpeople @BerniePauly @UVicHsd @HSDResearch Amazing!!! We are building our CMAP program currently, and are hoping to include cannabis as harm reduction for alcohol use ❤️
Our experience demonstrates that the lived expertise of drinkers can play an integral role in creating alcohol harm reduction materials, specifically those related to cannabis substitution, when combined with data from rigorous, community-based programs of research. (3/3)
In this essay, we draw on over 10-years of collaboration between CMAPS, and organizations of people with lived experience to describe our experiences co-creating cannabis education resources where none existed to support MAP sites piloting cannabis. (2/3)
