Building Hope: Substance Use in the Trades

Presented by the Tides of Change South Surrey Overdose Prevention and Response Community Action Team, this campaign consists of an eight-minute video that shines a light on the disproportionate impact of the opioid overdose crisis and toxic drug supply on people in the trades. Thus, four men from the construction industry and trades were invited to share their personal experiences with substance use and their insights on how to stay safe in the face of a poisoned drug supply. In addition, four 1-minute spotlight clips have also been produced for each of the featured men to share on social media. At the end of the video, viewers are invited to visit two weblinks to learn more about the opioid overdose crisis in the trades (see related links above).
