Now available! The Small Cities Playbook for Action and its Implementation Guide – municipally-led practical interventions small cities can use to tackle Canada’s substance use crisis
Ever wonder what your small city can do about the substance use crisis?
The substance use crisis is a major public health issue that has hit communities hard, and smaller cities frequently lack the resources that larger ones have to address it effectively.
Whether you are a municipal leader, service provider, law enforcement officer, harm reduction or treatment provider, person with lived or living experience or an engaged resident, these resources are for you. You do not need to be an expert in substance use health to use them.
The Small Cities Playbook for Action features 50+ evidence-based interventions municipalities can choose from. Its Implementation Guide is a practical step-by-step how-to for getting started.
The Playbook was developed with recommendations and input from mayors and community leaders from across Canada!
Topics include:
• Prevention and early intervention
• Harm reduction and outreach
• Treatment and recovery
• Community and cultural supports
• Housing and employment supports
• Policing and public safety
