Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) has been working with community partners to understand the local impact of opioids and other drugs. Together with service providers and people with lived experience, HPEPH has conducted a situational assessment through focus groups and interviews to understand current statistics, barriers, and opportunities to reduce harms and help people who use drugs access support services. The resulting report – The Impact of Opioids and Other Drugs in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties – identifies a number of recommendations which are intended to reduce harms and increase access to services for those who use drugs in our community.
