This live-streamed event will be the official launch of our project, several years in the making. Central to the project are the real-life stories of gay men who use drugs and those who provide PnP-related care and support. Anchoring this work is our CME training and other resources on PnP for clinicians, community workers and other providers.

We hope to have as many interested providers join us to learn more about our work, the experiences of our community, and the opportunities available to increase knowledge and develop skills.
