Findings/Key points

This presentation was recorded November 28, 2023 as part of The Collaborative Community Laboratory on Substance Use and Harm Reduction (Co/Lab) Community of Practice. It articulates the limitations of, and the harms of over-emphasizing, medicalized models for safe supply, and proposes recommendations for advancing non-medicalized models for the supply, distribution, and access to safer alternatives to the increasingly toxic unregulated drug supply.
