Update: webinar available for on-demand view.
People who use substances often experience stigma and discrimination when accessing health and social services. This failing of the system can lead to folks not accessing and/or disconnecting from care and support.
A recent study applied the concept of culturally safe care to develop a model of safe care from the perspective of people who use substances. People with lived and living experience shared their perspectives through an approach known as concept mapping which engages community in brainstorming, sorting and rating important concepts of care models. These concepts can be used to identify and enhance safer care environments that prioritize the building of trust and relationships. Join us to learn about how you can leverage this info to improve access and care for people who use drugs, and support advocacy for safer care.
This webinar will be led by Bernie Pauly and a peer researcher from the study.
This event will support the work of:
• People with lived and living experience providing peer services
• People providing frontline health navigation or support services
• People in program development
• People in policy development
