It's great to hear that these are being broadly shared across networks. To answer your questions Alexandra- yes! I do find that the regional dialogue resonates with my work and my community. The integration of and access to services really is a challenge in most northern communities. This is something that many of us would agree with.
I really liked that harm reduction was chosen, and specifically the prioritization of "Strategies to educate different audiences about harm reduction..." I think that this is an important issue when considering our opioid problems as a society. One thing that the mental health promotion field has done really well has been to normalize mental health struggles with the general public (e.g., creating awareness with their campaigns stating that 1 in 5 will experience mental health challenges, etc.).
We don't seem to be there at all when it comes to opioids, and I think that this is largely due to a broad misunderstanding of the actual reach of this problem. Many do not know what opioid addiction looks like and who is affected. I think that a 'communication strategy' for different audiences (including the public) will be one component of a successful community framework as we move forward. It was nice to see this mentioned in the report.
