Description

CPHA’s Normalizing Conversations project launched a survey in 2021 to learn how Canadian public health, public safety, and health and social service professionals define and implement a public health approach to substance use. The survey findings provide an understanding of key stakeholder beliefs, attitudes, knowledge levels, and access to information about substance use.

In collaboration with Drug Free Kids Canada.org, IAM presents:

Youth Substance Use Prevention

Spotlight on Cannabis, Alcohol and Vaping: Get the facts and practical tools for talking to youth

The webinar provides facts and information about the present landscape of cannabis, alcohol vaping and youth and how it is affecting families, as well as practical tools to engage in meaningful conversations with families about youth substance use prevention.

Cost: No charge

Outline:

Methadone is a first-line treatment for opioid use disorder and its use is associated with reduced morbidity, mortality, blood-born viral infections and social harms. Despite these benefits, methadone remains a poorly understood and stigmatized medication. Comprehensive primary care that includes integrated opioid agonist therapy results in improved preventative health screening and higher client satisfaction.
