📢 New ep out! In part 3 of our Kids on the Block series we hear from Danny - a young queer person who tries to escape a hostile family and government to live an authentic life. rb.gy/yjp53i
A new book by UBC’s Dr. @danya_fast traces the experiences of young people who use drugs in Vancouver amidst a public health overdose emergency. Learn more in this Q&A with Dr. Fast: bit.ly/49OmjQp @BCCSU @UBCDoM @HlthResearchBC @CIHR_IRSC
🚨New @crackdownpod ep. The right attacks harm reduction to "protect children." But it's the drug war that's killing kids - and their parents. The right never lets youth speak for themselves. But we do. crackdownpod.com/episodes/episo…
Honoured that I get to be a part of telling this story with Bones, @garthmullins and @crackdownpod. crackdownpod.com/episodes/episo…

🚨 New @crackdownpod ep. The fight for drug decriminalization is only getting started in BC. But when the state makes a concession to movement demands, that shows a little community power. Fuckin A crackdownpod.com/episodes/episo…

#HarmReduction has primarily developed around adult drug use, obscuring theoretical, practical, ethical & legal issues pertaining to children & adolescents & their families @ijdrugpolicy @UBCNursing @CEBI_DSPI @DrClauStoicescu @HRInews @IDPCnet sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A Vancouver research scientist says young people are at the centre of the toxic drug crisis and need more safe spaces to reduce harm. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/04/07/van…
"We want to be designing #housing where relationships are at the centre & young people feel a real sense of home... those things can be protective" Young people need safe spaces for #harmreduction, says researcher Dr. @danya_fast by @AasthaPK #toxicdrugs vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/04/07/van…
There’s lots of blame thrown around on this platform about who/what is to blame for the worsening toxic drug crisis, usually by politicians and their opinion-writer minions (and almost never on the actual causes), but we don’t talk enough about real solutions, things that could…
@guyfelicella Thanks for the shout-out, Guy. The story has been very popular on the Vancouver Sun's website. Hopefully the possible solutions resonate with people. It's an excellent book by @danya_fast of the @BCCSU
"B.C. needs more services that will give young people a sense of fulfilment, such as schools, community centres and non-profits creating fun programs where they can meet other youth and trusted adults" vancouversun.com/feature/resear…
I am trilled and grateful to be part of the 2024 APHC cohort! The opportunity to work with partners including @BCCSU @SFUSPP @CANdrugpolicy @kalismethy313 and BCMMHA to use data-driven science to transform drug policy is an honour and privilege.
