Individuals providing harm reduction services have spoken about some of the benefits and challenges of their role. The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction is currently conducting a study using an online survey to better understand the experiences of individuals who provide harm reduction services. Additionally, we would like to gather information about the services and supports that could be put in place to ensure the well-being of individuals performing this work.

A recent report shows that opioid-related deaths have increased almost three times between 2003 and 2017 in the province. While health care organizations and governments have responded in changing policies and adapting guidelines, Dr. Tara Gomes examines the impacts of these changes.
CAMH has teamed up with Trillium Health Partners and SickKids to launch a two-year pilot project, funded by the Medical Psychiatry Alliance (MPA), aiming to help youth with first-episode psychosis (FEP). The Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care for Youth (TECC-Y) project, brings together an interprofessional team —a psychiatrist, an occupational therapist, a dietician, and social worker—to provide holistic care to youth ages 16 to 29 with FEP, through a web-based platform.
Hello all, I am seeking advice about Suboxone microdosing as a technique to covert MMT clients to BMT. I have used microdosing to initiate Suboxone in OUD clients who are not in withdrawal due to recent opiate use. This process has gone relatively smoothly, I used the schedule as per Vancouver Costal Health. When I tried to do similar with clients who were on Methadone, I had trouble at a dose higher than 4 mg. One of my clients was stable on MMT and the dose at 65 mg. He was having some constitutional symptoms that I hoped would improve with the switch.

Practical Consideration of Transference & Countertransference in Medical Practice
Keeping Good Professional Boundaries in Medical Practice:
This program describes the theoretical foundations and shows (using DVD clips) the practical application of boundaries in clinical process. The foundation of good quality medicine is not only scientific and technical, it is also ethical. Boundaries are essential to an appropriate therapeutic relationship. As helpers we need to know boundaries well so we can get as close to a patient without intruding upon, or "using" a patient in any way. (Partly based on journal articles by Dr. Michael Paré.)

I am involved in a process to expand capacity to authentically "meet people where they are at". It originally started with attempting to build capacity for understanding and bridging substance use, harm reduction, housing first philosophy.
