Kingston, Ont. group receives $1.3M to fight substance abuse
“We are grateful to Health Canada and its Substance Use and Addictions Program for funding the Support Not Stigma initiative, which aims to provide ‘a hand up’ to people who use substances, who would benefit by being engaged again, building community, and reconnecting with loved ones,” a Support Not Stigma news release said.
“By supporting initiatives like this one, we can save lives, improve capacity for healthcare providers in Ontario and across Canada, and build a better healthcare system that actively serves the needs of people in the community of Kingston,” said Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.At 218 Concession St., a centre will be created for people who use substances. They will be engaged in art therapy.
There will be similar programming for Indigenous Peoples that will provide opportunities to learn cultural teachings and crafts, and engage in a ceremony.
