Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres develop 84-page document to address growing opioid crisis in urban Indigenous communities
The Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres has launched a new harm reduction toolkit to address the growing opioid crisis in urban Indigenous communities.
“Across the province we’re seeing the growing impacts of the opioid crisis,” said OFIFC chief engagement officer Suze Morrison. “We’re seeing that it specifically hit Indigenous communities and urban Indigenous communities in a disproportionate way, and particularly throughout COVID we’ve been seeing a substantial increase in the rates of overdoses, in the rates of infection and illness from harm caused by drug use.
The 84-page harm reduction toolkit offers users a history of harm reduction in Canada, an overview of infections and Indigenous-specific approaches to harm reduction.
