This year during National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW) we are Driving Change Together. We invite you to join us during the week of November 21–27.
It’s about collaborating as a community to make change happen. We want to present Canadians with ways to reassess the way they think about substance use and people who use drugs.
Please share your NAAW activities on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and show how you are driving positive change in your community. Share your plans, photos and social media information by emailing media@ccsa.ca or tagging us in your posts.
CCSA’s Issues of Substance and NAAW
It takes a range of perspectives and collective efforts to drive the needed change to shape a brighter future for people who use substances. Close to 1,000 people in Canada will come together to drive change during CCSA’s Issues of Substance 2021 conference.
National Addictions Awareness Week happens in conjunction with CCSA’s first virtual Issues of Substance conference. It runs as three half-days from November 23 to 25.
If you’re attending the conference, let us know what you think. We’re interested in what you’re learning. How do you plan to use what you are learning in your daily life or work life? We would like to know which presentations caught your interest. In fact, please lets us know anything you would like about the conference. Be sure to use the hashtags #CCSAConference and #DrivingChangeTogether so we can follow your conference experience.
Coming Together to Promote Change
During NAAW, we want to highlight resources, research and work being done across the country to fight stigma or reduce harms from problematic substance use. We’ll be posting about a different topic each day:
Sunday, Nov. 21: Stigma
Monday, Nov. 22: Alcohol
Tuesday, Nov. 23: Gambling
Wednesday, Nov. 24: Adverse Childhood Experiences
Thursday, Nov. 25: Opioids
Friday, Nov. 26: Cannabis
Saturday, Nov. 27: COVID-19 and Mental Health
