Acute Drug Harm in Temporary and Community Housing

Community Housing Aotearoa will host a zoom call with the Drug Foundation and the Ministry of Health on 31 May at 2pm to talk about acute drug harm with a particular focus on housing providers. The purpose is to set the foundation to build capacity and awareness of acute drug harm issues within community housing settings. This call is an opportunity to share evidence, tools and resources that are available to support responses to acute drug harm, as well as giving light to some of the great initiatives, practice and insights that are already in place.
