And at that moment is when I realized how horrendous and how in control meth was over her life. 00:00:20 I have five children, and two of them have been affected—well, all five have been affected by addiction, no- no doubt—but two of them have directly been affected by the drugs that cause addiction. They both were kind of in the same mind frame. They had things in life that they didn’t want to deal with, and at that time the marijuana was helping for my- my older daughter. Very quickly, uh, from marijuana into cocaine. 00:00:50 I guess like any other parent, I just never thought this would happen to me. I feel- I guess, one thing I do feel guilty about is, because we fought so hard on the marijuana thing in the beginning, that was the issue. It was illegal, and my girls were using it in school… in high school, and, uh, that was definitely where it all started for us.  00:01:12 And a part of me feels very guilty because I pushed so hard on that that I feel like especially with my one girl and the boundaries that we put in place, did I push her to the street? And then once she got on the street, she had no choice. She had to live. She had to survive. So you just do what everyone’s doing, you know? You- what- I don’t know what she did. She won’t talk to me about it. She’s- maybe someday her and I can have that conversation. Maybe never. Maybe this is a part of this whole journey that I’d rather just keep buried in the sand, because if I bring that part up, I don’t know. 00:01:49 The hardest thing that I’ve ever had to, um, internally deal with as a mom, with both of my girls, and to even say it out loud is the most bizarre thing in the world to me: there was times with both of my girls when things were so bad that I begged God to take them. [sniffs] Like what kind of parent does that? What kind of parent begs God to take them? I’ll tell you, it’s a parent who watches their kids in hell every day. [cries] 00:02:27 I don’t- I- I remember the day that I thought it for my one daughter, because she was struggling and she tried to commit suicide twice, and the second time, I was at the hospital… and I had to watch her. And they… used the counter- counteractive drug to try to help get the drugs out of her system, and she was in so much pain. And there was nothing they could do for her but just give her the- this medication to try and help get this out. And it took three days. 00:03:01 I don’t talk about these things. I haven’t talked about these things. I haven’t talked about my feelings, really, with anyone. But I don’t want another parent to feel this way, and I know a lot do. How do- how does a person survive that? You know, how does a parent survive this? 00:03:23 I was barely floating. I was doing- I think the fight in me- the fight in me to save my children kept me just- just above the power of the meth and the cocaine and everything else. My one daughter that was living on the streets, I told her I was doing this, and I told her that I was doing it, um, this way, right? Where I wouldn’t be using names, and I asked her, If you had any advice or anything to say to, I don’t know, your younger self, 12, 13, 14, I don’t know when she started using, to be honest. I know she started using the hard drugs around age 15, 16. What would you say? Do you have any advice? And she thought about it, and she said to me, “I don’t have any advice, Mum, because somebody who wants- is gonna be a drug user is going to be a user, and there’s nothing I can say to stop that. But what I would say is whatever you do, however far you go, deep you go, you know, wherever you end up in the drug world, don’t forget the values that your parents taught you. Because once you let those go, your life doesn’t mean anything.” 00:04:42 We were always in the back of her mind… and her grandparents, and she said that’s her advice to anybody. Do not let go of your values that your family taught you because it will take you out in the end. And she said that’s how she got out. 00:04:57 A long time ago, I gave up trying to tell them what to do because, I’ll tell you right now, it’s just gonna make it worse. It- it real- and I get it, it’s a parent’s role, especially when your kids are not adults and they’re doing things they’re not supposed to do, you know, it’s your job, but it comes to a time where you have to weigh out the- do you- do you want to be, you know, the parent and have everything done the right way, or how can I best support my child as they swim through this murky water and have them still trust me? 00:05:32 My daughter sent me something on Facebook just recently, and it was about meth and it was basically meth talking. And one of the things it did say as a meth user in this poem was, “Whenever I see my mom, she cries. And my little brother, I’m not his hero anymore.” Anyways, she sent me this- she actually sent it through Facebook, for the world to see, and this also shows me that she’s in recovery… is responsibility that she’s owning, but she sent it to me and said, “Now when I see my mom, she smiles, and in my little brother’s eyes, [cries] I- I now wear a cape again.” 00:06:16 My one daughter, um, she’s 90- 90-plus days clean. My other daughter is… um, I believe, clean as of May. Meth or any- fentanyl, they’re all very selfish drugs, and they will- they take over their bodies, their minds, their souls… and they just got to find that little crack and start clawing their way out. And when they do, you’ve got to be there. They got to know you love them. They gotta know that you trust them. 00:06:51 Yeah, it’s… the story of the two of them and it happening at the same time, really, you know, within the same time frame… Man, I am very thankful to be where I am today talking about this. Um… and I still have my daughters. Joanne Merrylees: 00:16 So, I am in recovery myself. Um, my recovery started June 7, 2010, um and I have been clean since then. 00:25 I know nobody in my family, nobody on this entire planet, could tell me to stop using drugs. I had to do that on my own. When I was ready, and that’s what happened with me- I was just done. With the lifestyle, with everything- I was so tired of being an addict. 00:43 It helps me having that lived experience, helps me when it comes to understanding, where our clients’ headspace is, why they use, and why they continue to use, and why it’s so hard to use. 00:56 Um, for me, my experience was a lot of trauma, um and a lot of abuse, um that I went through that I didn’t know... or I thought that I was coping with in regular ways. I didn’t know how to cope. I never had those skills on how to cope with that, and I never told anybody. 01:15 So, when I was sexually abused as a young girl, multiple times, I didn’t know how to voice that- I wasn’t taught that, so if I’m not taught that, how do I- I continue on the rest of my life, with that?

Interviewees mention seeing a shift in opioid addiction from street populations to the town population. The featured service providers recommend using a non-judgmental approach so that PWLLEs can build relationships and thereby be more likely to receive care. A second wave of this campaign was also orchestrated in 2021, expanding the conversation about the opioid crisis in Grande Prairie to 14 YouTube videos, with a larger focus on local indigenous PWLLEs and youth. In addition to being released on the City of Grand Prairie's YouTube channel, these videos are included on the campaign website with a supplementary facilitator's guide to accompany screenings of the video series.

Specifically, a doctor and several nurses are interviewed, describing Camsack's need for harm-reduction treatments, detox centres, and after-care services for rehabilitation patients. Additionally, a student services teacher speaks about her experience seeing many kids succumb to trauma and addiction. In order for early intervention, she exclaims that mental health nurses and psychiatric nurses are needed in schools on a semi-regular basis. "Delaney – Registered Nurse – Small Town Anywhere" briefly features a nurse, emphasising that anyone can fall susceptible to addiction and that more resources are needed to provide better outcomes for clients.

Created for French-speaking audiences, two videos and three campaign posters were released. All campaign materials contain the tagline, "On peut tous agir pour sauver des vies" (We can all do our part to save lives). One 30-second video was released on YouTube, depicting a female narrator who "reverses" a somber funeral for an overdose victim and explains that there is "no need for death", mirroring the consequences that the audience could have if they reached out to help those at risk in the opioid crisis. This video emphasizes how there could have been "no need" for the funeral of a middle-aged, middle-class appearing male if his friend had been there to adminster Naloxone to save his life when he overdosed. Another 30-second video (still available on Facebook) uses a darker and more urgent tone. This video starts off with an eerie pan through a deserted and run-down building before turning a corner to focus on a young man who appears to have died of an opioid overdose. The voiceover suggests that abuse of drugs from the "black market" or "without a prescription" kills "people like him" (suggesting street-based users) but then the camera makes a left turn and zooms in through a torn hole in the wall to focus on the same middle-aged, middle-class appearing man as in the other video, apparently overdosed and dead on a living room couch. The voiceover continues, "it also kills people like him and others", playing on the 'shock' of a non-stereotypical drug user dying of an opioid overdose alone and at home. The video concludes with the message that one overdose death occurs per day in Quebec.   In addition to the videos, three posters were released: two were released at launch (posters 1 and 2) and another poster was released in 2021 (poster 3). In poster 1, a dark backdrop is paired with an opioid pill that has a morphed, anguished face on one side, described as "la face cachée des opoïdes" (the hidden face of opioids). Below this pill, the poster contains text explaining that (1) prescription opioids are effective pain relievers but should be used with caution and (2) black market opioids are responsible for one death per day in Quebec.

Working with the Alberta provincial government, Alberta Health Services, the RCMP and other local organizations, these talks presented three overarching themes: <ol> <li>Opioid misuse affects everyone</li> <li>Drug addiction is a disease of despair</li> <li>Public knowledge of opioid addiction resources is lacking</li> </ol> This digital campaign featured concise segments of educational information, pairing of key statistics with contextual imagery, and a local resources section for those affected by opioid addiction. The website linked above is not the direct campaign website, but is Massive Media's page that contains sample pictures of the original campaign and their notes on the development and web design of the original campaign.

[laughs] I started off with hard drugs and that was it. I was- I was gone." 00:03:53-Morgan: "Well I was kind of exposed to drugs my whole life. Um, my dad was in and out of prison my whole life, and my mom had her own problems, I guess. So I was left home a lot. So I was 13, I started dating this guy, who was a bit older than me, and, uh, he hung out with people older than him, and they were… partying every day, and I kind of just started doing drugs without even really knowing what they were. I stopped for about a year when I was 16, and then I started getting into prescription pills. And I was on them ever since." 00:04:34-Taylor (22 years old): "My addiction started probably when I was 13. I started- the first drug that I used- well, I drank, and, uh, then it went on, I tried smoking weed, and I didn’t like that because it gave me really bad anxiety attacks and everything, so anyways, from that I figured, well, I’ll try something else. I mean, you see all these people that like it and, like, at the time I was being bullied a lot. Uh, my parents ended up splitting up, and, uh, I was hanging out with a bad set of people that were into drugs, uh. I ended up using them, and my very first time trying them—I wasn’t even snorting them—like, I- I shot up my very first time ever trying pills. And I tried ecstasy before that. I should- I forgot to say that too." 00:07:41- Morgan: "I was in academic French Immersion, and, uh, I ended up in general English. I skipped all the time. It took me five years just to graduate high school. Um, I tried home college, and I ended up dropping out and wasted, like, thousands of dollars, so it affected my school very negative. Um, I would lie, like my- my grandparents are a big part of my life and they were kind of naive, so I’d lie and say, “I’m doing this” or “I’m doing that” to get money. And then once I started into the prescription pills, I started stealing all the time and pawned everything I had, and I got caught for stealing and stuff, so… I lost all my- well, my good friends, I guess. Um. I don’t know, then it all turned into drug addicts, but I mean, they’ll rip you off, in two seconds. They’re not really your friends, so… even now, I have, like, now that I’m getting clean, I have, like, nobody right now, so… I just- I hate it. I hate it. I mean, you don’t take care of yourself anymore, and you can’t work. You don’t get along with your family. Like, it’s just bad and you’re so sick, like you can barely get out of bed in the morning. It’s awful. You owe everybody money and, like, I- it’s not nice." 00:09:03- Taylor: "I ended up going out with a guy, and, uh, he was a junkie, and I was hanging out at this fella’s house all the time, so I was watching him shoot up all the time, watching- we [incoherent], watch him go steal to get money and, wait, he’d go get his fix, and I’d just sit there, watch him do it, and be sober the whole time. I was telling him, I said, “I want to try it.” But, uh, you know, my boyfriend said that- that if I ever tried it that he’d break up with me because he couldn’t afford his own addiction let alone, like, let alone support me, right? So, anyways, he [another guy] said, “Oh well don’t worry about him [your boyfriend]. Once I get my welfare check at the end of the month, I’ll shoot you up.” So, anyways, I was quite nervous because I had never tried these. I’d never- I’d never eaten them, like, nothing. And… so, the end of the month came, and I was in school at this point. I was going all day. I, uh, finished school that day, and I went over to this guy’s house, and I was four- f- fifteen at the time, and he was… uh, 36 or 37, I guess. No, yeah, about that. And, anyways, I got there, and I went to the kitchen table [incoherent: once I found a roll of smoke?], and anyways, there’s a little pile of [incoherent] there. And he’s like, “Alright honey, are ya ready?” And I said, “Well, for what?” You know, if I acted dumb because I was so scared, and I mean, I wa- I was scared but I- I wanted to have this, like, ego and everything that, oh well I- I’m not, you know, trying to play it off but I was really petrified. So anyways, he, uh, he got- he bought a new bag of rigs that day, and he got both our shots done up and he done his and he said, “Okay, ya ready?” And I was like, well I don’t know, I’m like, “Maybe I should just try snorting them first” like I don’t know, and he said- he said- he’s like, “Holy shit, well I already have it all done up, and you know, you’re gonna make me waste one of these new one- new rigs,” not that it would have mattered anyways ‘cause he had a whole bag. Anyways but either way, like I said, naive and I just didn’t- I didn’t know what to believe because- and I was- I was scared of him, but at the same time I really like- I think that’s why I kept him so close to me, and I went to visit him every day because, like, I don’t know, strange just how, like, conniving people are. And he just thought, I don’t know, it seems- I feel really stupid for saying how good of a friend I thought he was, and it turns out, like, he was just trying to sucker me into his whole world so that, you know, get me addicted then- and it- he might not even have been truly meaning to do it, like it sh- like subconsciously, like it- it just happens. It’s just the way an addict’s mind works, so, like, you don’t even realize. So anyways, he’s like, after him kind of, you know, getting mad at me, I just first thing stuck out my arm and I said, “Go ahead,” and I turned my head and that’s- he shot me up for the first time then, and I was basically screwed from then on out. I’d done it three more times and then my mom ended up finding out and of course she freaked out. I mean, no wonder, 15-year-old daughter putting needles in her arm." 00:14:13- Sherril (Taylor’s Mother): "Um, the first time that I found out how involved she was was from one of her friends who said she was doing needles. Now, that just about blew me out of the water. Um, she was missing that day, and I found her and confronted her, and we- I just threw her right in the van immed- car immediately. We went to outpatients, actually. Um, I had her checked for everything because I said, like, to me, the whole thing was, you are going to be catching something, you know, we’ve got to get this fixed and it’s gonna be stopped and little did I know that things were a lot worse. But that was the first time we really knew how serious it was. She moved in with a friend’s father who was 20-some years older than her, and from what we found out, one of the summers they went through close to $40,000 worth of money in a couple of months. Um, his wife had shot herself in front of her child the previous year, and… it was all due to pills, so it was just an addiction scene, I guess is the way to describe it. But, uh, yeah, it’s been torturous. It’s been hell. I’d never wish it on my worst enemy, and I… I know I have tons and tons to learn yet, but what I do know scares me to death." 00:16:45- Sherril: "When you watch your child- before she left, the week she left, she jumped out a two-story window of her house- her dad’s house, and I found her down at the corner. She had on a pair of the scruffiest-looking pants I ever saw and an old hoodie lifted up. And she- that was the week we were going to Portage [drug addiction rehabilitation centre], and they had told us we had to detox her at home, so her- I took work off, her father came home, and we sat on her 24/7. No one could leave her. But she ducked to the bedroom. We had to take- [incoherent] we had to take all handles off the windows. We had to, like- she went to the bathroom, we had to stand outside the bathroom. It was a week of hell. We knew the end was coming, but it was a week of hell. But she jumped out. She got down to the corner, and she was hiking to get a pill because she was that sick. Her- her drug of choice was Dilaudid, so it was extreme withdrawals. She, um- her father never saw this before. I had seen some, but she’s standing there, and I stopped the car, said, “You gotta come home,” you know? And when you see your child stand on the side of the road, foaming at the mouth and begging you, just begging you, “Please just let me get one pill. I’ll be better.” It was the most… heartbreaking, most- I’ve- I couldn’t- I can’t even explain the feelings."

Text Any textual data included in the document Roy's Story: I am a son, friend, husband, brother, worker, father, uncle. I am a person that cares about people who use substances as a way to avoid what they are feeling. ... I’ve been out of prison since 1988 and working in the Harm Reduction Program at the AIDS Committee of Windsor since 1993. I was part of the first Outreach Team to go into houses where people were using drugs. By listening to how people are feeling, their stories, and where it has taken them. I want them to know that they are someone that people care about and not just a “Junkie”. When some of the people I knew stopped using drugs, I was proud of them. When some started using drugs again, I would encourage them by reminding them how well they did and offer my support. I have seen people using drugs run from things that have happened to them or do drugs to hide from feeling pain or sadness when someone they care about or love, dies. I won’t judge them or anyone else because I was in that same spot and I know how it feels. Harm Reduction is just not words to say. For me, it means that I care and want to help keep you safe. I’ve seen people over the years at their lowest turn their lives around and I have seen some that were on top hit their lowest. It’s hard to do the work I do. I care about the people I work with. With the support I get in recovery, I am able to keep doing this work. Stephanie Bertrand’s Story My ex-husband was one of the smartest people I had ever met. He was a foreman for a construction company and was diligent and hard-working. When we started dating, we were both in recovery from cocaine use and thought we could support each other. I soon learned that I was wrong when he began using again. I remained hopeful and supportive. After resuming substance use several times such as cocaine and occasional opiates, he became substance free and was doing well. One night, after celebrating with friends for his birthday, he came home with a serious arm injury. A trip to the hospital and surgery later, he was given a prescription for Percocet. The catalyst that would eventually end our relationship. When the Percocet ran out, he started buying pain pills off the street, graduated to OxyContin and then to any opioid he could get. He would get very angry and abusive while using. Everything of value that we owned was sold to feed the habit. Mindful of his underlying issues and struggles with self-worth, I tried to help connect him to care; he always managed to find a way out. His addiction affected my own recovery and I soon fell back into use. I struggled to navigate recovery for the both of us. I eventually couldn’t keep up; I got out of active use for the last time in 2016. I was then faced with one of the most difficult and painful choices of my life, either I had to lose the husband I loved or lose my children. Three years later, I am still in recovery. Unfortunately, my children are still missing their father and conversations are ongoing explaining that “daddy is sick and when he gets better he will call.” There is a hole in their hearts that can’t be filled. I felt like a failure for not being able to help him and for not being able to help my children. I was grieving for a long time. Every time I would feel like I had reached a good point and was through the grief, I would see him again and the cycle would start all over. Seeing him ridiculed has been especially difficult for me and my family. Addiction is the symptom of an underlying cause and I hope that we can be mindful of this and display some empathy and compassion before we pass judgments; please, remember that person who uses substances is someone’s father, mother, brother, sister, brother, or child. Label Me Person - Lived Experience - Stephanie Bertrand 00:00:08 Well, I got into addiction about 15 years ago. I had just become a wife and a mom, and I really had no idea what I was doing. And, so, I was constantly second guessing myself, and I- I- my self-esteem was shot at this point, and I had no idea what to do. I- I felt like I was failing as a mom, failing as a wife. 00:00:28 And so, I had gotten a job at a bar, and somebody had offered me something, and it made me feel ten feet tall and bulletproof. And, instantly, all these problems went away. And I was able to kinda like- I felt like I knew, I knew exactly what I was supposed to do. 00:00:43 Unfortunately, one led to more led to more led to more led to me not coming home, led to me not being the mom I wanted to be, not being the wife that I wanted to be. At this point, I had two k- I had had my second child, um, and everything just fell apart. I got so wrapped up in my addiction I lost my- my husband. I was a struggling single mom with two kids, and I met another person, and he was in recovery, too, and I thought it was going to be amazing, we’d understand each other, we’d be able to get through this together.  00:01:13 And about a couple months in, I- I broke. I- he was using, and I started using with him. And it led me right back down the same- same path, so I kept running into this cycle all the time over and over again. I would get clean for a couple of months, I would be doing good, and then I would fall back into addiction. 00:01:34 When I was laying on my couch and I was starting to get the withdrawals from the opiates and- and my son- my baby son at the time, he was only about a year and a half, two years old, and he’s trying, “Mummy come play with me, Mummy come play with me,” and I couldn’t even get off the couch. And then I thought about it. What happens if I don’t make it through this, and what if I- if I die on my couch? What if he’s sitting there and he’s going, “Mommy come play with me” and I’m not waking up? And that was pretty much the breaking point, because I didn’t want my kids to ever have to bury me. Not like that. 00:02:02 And so I went and I talked to a doctor and I- I got put on Suboxone, and I started to get my life back in order. He got put on the same program as me, and we were both on the same path, but I kept going and he didn’t. So, he ended up homeless. We haven’t seen him in probably about a year and a half now. Uh, he hasn’t talked to his kids, and every day I’m constantly having to hear, “I miss Dad, I miss Dad, where’s my dad? Have you seen my dad?” And those are questions I hate answering, because I don’t want to tell my kids something… bad about their father, but I also don’t want to tell them the truth about their father. So I spend a lot of time saying, you know, “Dad is sick,” and I think the worst question my daughter had ever asked me was, “Mom, if you were sick and you could get better, why can’t Dad get better?” And that was just a question I couldn’t answer. 00:02:52 So, about a year after I started into my recovery and I was on the Suboxone, that’s when I decided that I wanted to help people like that, I wanted to help the people that didn’t have a support system like I had, I- I wanted to help the people that didn’t have family, didn’t have friends, didn’t have people that- that actually cared about them. And I see a lot of that in the city now, so I’m hoping that, with this campaign and with everything that I’ve said today, that people will realize that, yes, there are people out there that understand what you’ve been through, and we understand why you’re there. 00:03:21 The AIDS Committee of Windsor is an amazing, amazing place. Um, I got into it when I was in my first year of recovery, and it helped m- helped me to get the communication skills to be able to talk to people in the first place. When I came out- into recovery, I- I couldn’t communicate what was going on with me, so going through some of the programming there in their peer engagement department, um, helped me to be able to communicate. Using their harm reduction department, I was able to get clean gear that I didn’t end up losing an arm or- or even worse, dying from some infection or something like that. And there’s always somebody willing to listen there. Whether it’s somebody in the harm reduction department or in peer engagement, there’s always somebody willing to listen and try and get you the right supports. 00:04:01 It doesn’t have to be like this. Your life doesn’t have to be like this. It doesn’t have to be unmanageable. There are ways to get help. Just keep asking. If something doesn’t work for you, try something else. Stephanie Ermatinger’s Story Boozhoo! Meaning “hello” in my indigenous language. My story starts with my birth on the beautiful island of Walpole. My childhood was full of family birthdays, trips, hunting, fishing and learning my culture. I was unaware of the abuse my mother suffered in residential schools so when I was nine years old I was sexually abused and didn’t know what to do. I bottled in this trauma due to fear of breaking up my family. In trying to hide my emotions, I turned to binge eating, drugs and alcohol at the age of 13. Throughout adolescence, I was raped at parties while unconscious. I staggered into my first relationship and stayed sober the nine months I carried my daughter. It wasn’t long after she was born that I was enduring abuse from my partner. I thought the abuse was better than being alone. At 21, I was introduced to methamphetamine, heroin, and other opioids. The drugs took away my habits of binge eating and dulled my shame and guilt. I felt so good, even knowing this was a false sense of happiness. Between ages 27-39 I was in and out of jail and recovery homes. While I was in a recovery home, my spirit name was given to me by a Northern shaman where I learned to love myself. Today, I am six months substance-free and belong to several community groups. My spirit name is Red Thunder Bird Woman for the blood and tears I experienced and for my ability to share my journey to help and support others. The Thunderbird Spirit was one of the first created and is the most protective spirits known in Indigenous culture. Having experienced cultural shame and abuse, I am now proud to be a recovering Indigenous woman. I now know that it’s okay to be happy, even when others are not. That “no” is a full sentence. And that we are never alone. Through trauma, addictions, and homelessness, I came out a SURVIVOR. “Bama pii”- (‘til we meet again) Label Me Person - A Moment of Lived Experience - Stephanie Ermatinger <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> Time Code </td> <td> Video </td> <td> Audio </td> </tr> <tr> <td> 00:00:01 </td> <td> Extreme close shot of the right side of Stephanie’s face.

The pop-up started at Windsor Regional Hospital's Ouellette Campus and made its way to Devonshire Mall and the University of Windsor before the pandemic hit. Since then, the campaign has shifted online and widened in scope. What began as a physical display of "six personal narratives from people who are recovering, or have recovered, from an opioid addiction" in Windsor, is now a website with videos, podcast episodes, and virtual workshops and webinars. The website aims to: <ol> <li>"frame multiple crises": the opioid crisis, overdose crisis, and drug policy crisis;</li> <li>"frame the community response"; and</li> <li>answer "what we can do" to counteract stigma as community members, service providers, people who use substances, and people impacted by substance use.</li> </ol> Note: Since the launch of this campaign, the "AIDS Committee of Windsor" has changed its name to "Pozitive Pathways".

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Dr. Nel Wieman: Here in BC, in four or five months, because of the declaration of a public health emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we managed to flatten the curve and it's because COVID-19 is an infectious illness. But when you talk about people who use substances, particularly opioids, [it's treated differently]. We have now been in a public health emergency [for overdose] for over four years and yet we haven't flattened that curve, so to speak. We're on our way up to even higher levels. So it speaks to the stigma that surrounds substance use versus an infectious illness. For those of us who work in the area of substance use, this is extremely saddening and frustrating. Harm reduction is all about meeting people where they're at with kindness and with respect. With COVID-19 the slogan essentially became 'we're all in this together.' When it comes to people who use substances, the thinking is 'I'm glad it's you and not me'. We need to change that with compassion. To say, we are all in this together with the opioid crisis. These are our family members, our friends. We need to fight that stigma and reduce the suffering and the losses that are related to the opioid crisis.

FNHA recycled the 2018 footage into these nine video shorts, featuring "the voices of Indigenous individuals", including Kim Calder, Dede Nelson, Andrea Medley, Tracey Morrison, and Len Pierre. Each video short contains just one individual. Description An account of the resource Born out of the "dual public health emergencies" of the overdose crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, the FNHA released this "extensive, province-wide overdose prevention campaign" related to harm reduction, comparing the provincial response to both crises. Through the campaign, the FNHA argues that the response to COVID-19 has led to "unintended consequences" - exacerbating overdose deaths, especially among Indigenous peoples, due to the lockdown and "entrenched stigma" of substance use.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound This is an abridged transcript from the <a href="https://youtu.be/8LFMXPHrtE8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reducing Stigma</a> video. Tracey Morrison, President of Western Aboriginal Harm Reduction Services I would say I have these whammies against me, right? Like being a drug user and alcoholic, um… I live in the Downtown Eastside, I’m Aboriginal, I’m a woman, I’m a welfare bum, you know? And I don’t think of those as negatives. I think of them as- they’re what strengthen me. When I meet people, people don’t know- a lot of people don’t know that about me. And I’m like, “Well did you know these things about me?” And they’re like, “No…” And I’m like, “Wow.” I said, “See? That’s dropping stigma.” So many people are like, “Why do you tell people everything about your life?” I said, “Because I want people to know that we’re not bad people. We’re good people.” You know? We have families. I’m somebody’s sister. I’m somebody’s auntie. You know? It’s those kind of questions, those things, you know, everybody is here for a reason. The Creator put us here.

Description An account of the resource A collaboration between First Nations Health Authority and Vancouver Coastal Health, this campaign is a four-part video series covering the following topics: <ol> <li>Harm Reduction</li> <li>Indigenizing Harm Reduction</li> <li>Resisting (Reducing) Stigma</li> <li>Hopes for the Future</li> </ol> Accompanying the video series is a teaching guide (see attached PDF) with discussion questions. Many of the participants in the videos identify as people with lived experience, either in recovery or active use, but they are represented as experts. While no one explicitly mentions the intersection between substance use stigma and racism - likely because the intended audience is Indigenous communities - several folks link addiction to intergenerational trauma from land theft, forced removal of children, and colonization.
