About this event

Wednesday 4 November 13:00-14:30pm EST.

Join CPHA for a panel discussion regarding public health approaches to substance use: implementation and future innovation. This webinar will be the first in a series, unpacking what we mean when we say “a public health approach to substance use.” This marks an opportunity to explore the gap between public health theory and practice, and what a public health approach should aim to achieve.

Our panelists include:

  • Elena Hasheminejad, York Region Public Health
  • Scott Harrison, Director, Harm Reduction Nurses Association
  • Elaine Hyshka, University of Alberta School of Public Health
  • Gord Garner, Executive Director, Community Addictions Peer Support Association

This webinar will be held in English only.
