July 9, 2025
Resource put together by and for youth with lived experience, and the First Nations Health Authority
A new harm-reduction toolkit for Indigenous youth was developed by and for youth across B.C., together with the First Nations Health Authority.
The new resource ‘With Open Arms’ contains suggestions about how to talk about substance abuse.
“We hope that young people access this toolkit, which includes videos, language and resources so that they may feel empowered to speak openly with their friends and family about harm reduction and healing, and to be informed about their choices regarding substance use,” said Dr. Nel Wieman, chief medical officer of the FNHA in a release on July 8.
