Findings/Key points

We hope that this comic book will have a great impact because it's nice to know that you're not alone. Lots of times you feel alone as a peer worker. Reading stories like this that come from a peer that aren't in your area is especially validating because you know that these issues aren't just happening to you where you are from. For readers who aren't addicts or of the street, some of the stories may trigger something from their past and make them see that we're real people. We hope that this comic book will make peers feel seen and change other people's minds about people who use drugs.
