Description

A Harm Reduction Strategy for Post-Secondary Institutions

The AC Umbrella Project, a Mental Health Innovation Fund project, has created a successful model that embodies best practices to provide substance use prevention, awareness, and early intervention to emerging adults within a post-secondary setting.

On Friday March 10, 2017, you are invited to join us where we explore what makes this model work, the challenges, and how it can be replicated in your community.
