How much do you know about harm reduction? Swing by and visit us to learn all about it, grab some pamphlets and get some supplies. We will be outside the library until 1 today! #VIUNanaimo #vancouverislanduniversity #nanaimo #harmreduction

We had such a good time at the last Overdose Response event that we decided to do it again- this time with the added benefit of a FREE LUNCH! 🥳 All are welcome, no sign up required. If you need assistance finding parking or locating the room, please send a message and we will help 🫶

Earlier this week we sent a letter to Island Health in response to their treatment of Dr. Wilder following her harm reduction advocacy work. If our health authority is more willing to take action based on politics than academic research then we are all in trouble. Our community deserves better. 🧵

Removal of Dr. Wilder from her Island Health harm reduction role is disgraceful. It reflects BC’s approach to the forever crisis www.policeoversight.ca/p/removal-of... #drugsky

Take a minute to read this letter from MSTH's Wanda Leblanc about the impossible situation Nanaimo's unhoused population faces during winter weather. Why is it left to volunteers to support them? Over 100 people were at Risebridge today. @power1312.bsky.social @momsstoptheharm.bsky.social

REMINDER about tomorrow's free Overdose Response Training event! We meant it when we said that it's open to everyone. For folks who aren't familiar with VIU, here is some info to help you navigate your way there. Parking on campus isn't free. If this is a barrier, let us know and we will help 💜
