Published purpose

This project aims to address the opioid crisis among Red River Métis Citizens in the Manitoba Métis Federation Northwest Region by launching a Mobile Outreach Van to provide prevention, education, and resources on opioid use. The van will offer culturally relevant harm reduction education, resources like Naloxone, and case management support, helping individuals access long-term treatment and community services. The goal is to reduce opioid-related harms and fatalities, while fostering cultural understanding and supporting the health and safety of the community.
