Working together to take action on drug poisonings
Communities for Drug Poisoning Prevention is a project that aims to address the issue of drug poisonings in Edmonton. Through community engagement and the support of community driven ideas, we hope to make a positive impact on the lives of those who are at risk of drug poisonings and the communities they are a part of.
Operational Framework for Drug Poisoning Response (2025)
The Operational Framework for Drug Poisoning Response aims to establish a compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach to drug poisoning responses in Edmonton, supporting responders across the care continuum, including emergency services, community service providers, and peer responders. The framework is designed to improve drug poisoning outcomes by fostering coordinated action, reducing stigma, and ensuring effective support from immediate intervention to long-term recovery.
WHAT WE HEARD (2022)
Communities For Drug Poisoning Prevention undertook this engagement process to hear from community members, businesses, frontline workers, Indigenous communities and those with lived/living experience to help inform future opportunities for action around awareness, education, services and resources.
