What You’ll Learn
Substance use related harm and death is a priority concern in BC and Canada. One gap that has been identified is that many providers don’t have the confidence or experience to engage in conversations about harm reduction. Examples of conversations might include talking about naloxone kits, treatment options, and how to use in a safer way.
