OneSky Community Resources and Pathways Addictions Resource Centre is excited to offer Vikki Reynolds Ph.D., RCC. Harm Reduction as Dignity-Driven Practice
Vikki will reflect on her work shouldering up ‘peers’, People who use IV Drugs, incarcerated persons, Indigenous people, sex workers and ‘First’-First Responders struggling in the opioid epidemic/poisoning/ political deaths. The heart of Harm Reduction work is doing Dignity, and Harm Reduction invites us to creatively respond to life-threatening events with respect and autonomy, not telling folks what to do but creating new ways to resist oppression, suffering, and death. We’ll consider the peer-led responses to the opioid epidemic/political deaths, and how we’ve been able to collectively shoulder each other up, resist what gets called ‘vicarious trauma’ and engage with justice-doing and believed-in-Hope as an ethical stance.
Where: Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. 273 Power St. Penticton B.C. 
When: May 23, 2019 
Times: 1:30PM - 4:30PM 
Fees: Thanks to a grant from the Community Action Initiative, we can provide this high-quality workshop free of charge.
