About
As part of Addictions and Mental Health Education Month, this event brings together a panel of five individuals who have lived through the profound grief of losing someone to a drug-related death. Panelists will candidly share their personal stories, highlighting the support they found helpful - or sometimes unhelpful. The discussion will explore the power of words, actions, and services in providing meaningful support, whether through informal gestures like calls and childcare or formal avenues like counselling and support groups.
This event is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to better support those dealing with drug-related losses. Whether you're a member of the general public, a professional who works directly with addictions, or a professional who works indirectly with addictions through healthcare, mental health, or social services, this session will offer invaluable insights.
**Please note, this is an educational event, not a support group, though it may benefit those grieving a drug-related death.**
