Huge thanks to the people who shared their struggles with addiction so frankly and the front-line outreach workers @TheNWHU in #Kenora + health experts + police who gave a human face to the rise of meth in the midst of the opioid crisis: https://t.co/Axv736X8Xc
The legend of the hand drum, passed down generations, inclusive of all people young and old, stories of love, kindness and compassion shared through long weeks in the creation of the drum. Each part of it’s creation medicinal and builds a sense of community. And now I understand.
It’s basic human rights, it’s heath preservation, its addressing SDOH, it’s compassionate care and building community! #harmreduction#publichealth@TheNWHU
@eastvanbrand @ladykocho@InsiteVan@sarahblyth @cococulbertson Finally getting around to planning this trip to Van a bit more, so exciting for us! How can we get ahold of you for a quick chat ?
Our Outreach Team is going to Vancouver in November!! 2 Nurses + 1 Doctor. Does anyone have suggestions of Harm Reduction/Addictions Supports and Services that would be awesome for us to check out while we’re there? Insite ✔️ others places?? Suggestions much appreciated :)
@GillianLunny@ZoeDodd In my mind there is some sort of sweet adrenaline rush that happens when you go into battle and fight against someone trying to use their power or position to strip an already vulnerable person of their basic human rights .... the good fight exhausting and liberating ! 🙌💪
There is no room for moral judgements in healthcare. Period. People have the right to live at risk and I have an obligation as a nurse to support them. #harmreduction https://t.co/NqPEuJnlZA
@eastvanbrand @ladykocho@InsiteVan@sarahblyth @cococulbertson Amazing thanks for letting me know I’ll reach out ASAP. I know how busy this kind of work is hoping we can help out while we’re there :) ✌️
