Résumé : |
The use of illegal psychoactive substances (or drugs) in our communities is a widespread social issue in British Columbia. Problematic substance use negatively affects individuals, communities and societies as a whole. A comprehensive and coordinated response to this issue is important to the well being of all citizens of British Columbia.
The BC Harm Reduction Strategies and Services (BCHRSS) Committee, comprised of representatives from every Regional Health Authority, BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and Provincial Health Services Authority, the BC Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport, and First Nations and Inuit Health, have developed a provincial best practices document to provide guidance to BC's harm reduction services, supply distribution, and collection programs. [...] The guide reviews program delivery models; provision of injecting and other harm reduction supplies; retrieval of used supplies; provision of and referral to health and social services; and client education. In a larger context, the document addresses involvement of people who use drugs in planning and service delivery; community engagement; impact of and relationships with law enforcement; and the role of health authorities and governments in the establishment of and support for harm reduction strategies and services.
