Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Register here for the CPHA webinar Having a Voice & Saving Lives: A Qualitative Survey on Employment Impacts People with Lived Experience of Drug Use Working in Harm Reduction.
The involvement of people who use drugs working in harm reduction has been a significant and expanding component of overdose prevention interventions across the nation. While such initiatives have proven effective in decreasing drug-related harms among PWUD, there exist unintended negative impacts.
The CRISM PWLE of Drug Use working group will be presenting on the findings of a survey of people with lived experience of drug use working in harm reduction, while discussing their own experiences working in harm reduction. Survey findings focus on the benefits and negatives of “peer” employment and recommendations for organizational transformation.
