Substance Use 101: Substances, Safety, & Support

December 8, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

What comes to mind when you think of drugs? Scenes from reefer madness? Uma Therman getting a violent injection in her chest in Pulp Fiction? Experiences from your college days? Or are you thinking of someone sleeping rough living downtown? Our Substance Use workshop takes you through an overview of commonly used substances and their impact on the body. Attendees will gain an understanding of substance use from a harm reduction lens and start to consider the complex psychosocial dynamics that may cause people to use substances in unhealthy ways. Participants will learn about best practices for supporting people who use substances, with a specific focus on methamphetamine use.
