Please join us at Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre (168 Bathurst St) on October 23rd, 4pm to 6pm, as we explore the learnings from Trip! Project’s community-based evaluation ‘Aligning Diverse Community Needs for a Youth Harm Reduction Program Model’.
Young people’s access to relevant and meaningful harm reduction services is critical to supporting and enabling safer drug use practices amongst youth:
Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre (PQWCHC) and the Trip! project partnered with the Centre for Community Based Research to co-design and conduct a community-based evaluation in order to explore the extent to which the current Trip! project model is aligned with 1) current drug using trends amongst diverse youth in the community; and 2) PQWCHC’s values, vision, and mission of providing “equitable, accessible urban health care for people where, when, and how they need it.”
These findings informed a collaborative process of identifying recommendations for more equitable youth harm reduction program delivery in Toronto.
