Challenging safer supply myths this am on @CBCKelowna @CBCKamloops @cbcPrinceGeorge @CBCVancouver & Victoria! Prohibition is the failed social experiment. Illicit drug market not safer supply is killing people. #policyfailures #stopoverdoses #endprohibition

[Chris Walker @ChrisWalkerCBC]

Tonight I learned a childhood friend died of an overdose. A quiet and kind boy with gentle, loving parents. In my memory he is 9 years old — the same age as the little boy I just tucked into bed. The opioid crisis is terrifying.

[The Globe and Mail @globeandmail]

The individuals behind these numbers are a lot more varied than you might think.

Here are the stories of 100 people who died last year — they represent just a fraction of the toll of Canada’s overdose crisis.

[Center on Trauma and Adversity @CenterOnTrauma]

This season can be wrought with forced closeness and interpersonal discomfort. Respect your own body autonomy and the autonomy of others. Your body, your boundaries. Thanks for this @introvertdoodles

[Nadine Rigby, RMSW @Deaner_Rigs]

@CenterOnTrauma So often as thearpist we put are own self care on the back shelf. Not realizing the vicarious trauma that can occur by witnessing trauma in others sometime multiple times a day.
