PAN will hold our Annual General Meeting virtually on Thursday, October 19, 2023
REGISTER HERE AND JOIN US FOR ONE OR BOTH PARTS
12 – 1:45 PM AGM Keynote (All welcome!)
Keynote Panel on “Safer Supply – what needs to change?”
Presentation by Charlene Burmeister (Coalition of Substance Users of the North) and Kurt Lock (Research Coordinator at the NAOMI and SALOME studies, and long-term advocate in the DTES), and special guests. This will be followed by Q&A. Our speakers will unpack the present realities of prescribed safer supply (PSS) in BC, as it is under the media and political spotlight right now. The call for PSS preceded both the pandemic and the overdose/toxic drug crisis, so the presentation will provide historical context – including the ‘war on drugs’ – and explore the evidence behind PSS as one of the tools to help people. They will highlight current barriers to a more effective implementation, as well as innovative and successful PSS models. Moving forwards, the presentation will give us insights on what we can all do.
