This project will reduce substance use-related harms and improve well-being for women and gender-diverse individuals in Hamilton, ON, who use opioids and other illicit substances while experiencing homelessness or violence. It will implement a gender-specific harm reduction mobile team and counseling supports that address substance use, gender-based violence, and parenting. This initiative will leverage partnerships to develop and disseminate best practices for gender-responsive substance use services, aiming to enhance the response to the opioid crisis at both local and national levels.
