Published purpose

The Equity in Action project will address the opioid crisis among Indigenous populations by embedding culturally safe, trauma-informed care within a centralized HUB. Using a two-eyed seeing approach that blends Western science and Indigenous knowledge, it will build community capacity, enhance cultural safety, and provide comprehensive prevention, and post-treatment support through Indigenous-led programming and a 3-pillar strategy—community capacity building, capital investment, and cultural safety.
