Published purpose
The project aims to improve overdose prevention and harm reduction services in Prince George, BC where overdose-related deaths and emergency calls have escalated significantly. It will double the organization's hours and expand its Support Services Team's capacity through additional staff, outreach promotion, and a vehicle for wider geographic reach. This will improve accessibility, address urgent community needs, and provide data for sustainable interventions.
