<h3 style="text-align: center;"><b>Community Education: </b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding drug use, and creating an inclusive community, is really difficult if we’re uncomfortable talking about drugs and harm reduction. The best way to become comfortable is to learn the facts (we don’t believe in scare tactics) and the reality of drug use in our Region.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our team provides harm reduction focused educational workshops and presentations on a variety of topics. All presentations are focused on what’s happening in our community – and include information about the resources available here. All of our trainers have either front -line worker experience, or lived/living experience, with poverty, substance use, being unhoused, or mental health. As members of the community we are actively aware of the systemic barriers that we navigate and the harms of oppressive systems. Building capacity and knowledge is one way we can work together as a community to mitigate harm- which is harm reduction!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to presenting to community groups and agencies, we’re also available to present to service users – youth, teens, and adults.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of Our Current Workshop Topics Include:</span>
