First off, I think a lot of it has to deal with all the aspects of the four pillars, which are harm reduction, prevention, enforcement and treatment, and having those flow right right across the country. Obviously, with the toxic drug supply, it's really changed the dynamic of the things that we struggle with.
In our sense, the education piece is just vital for kids to understand how dangerous it is to use substances in today's day and age. It's not a question of.... Me telling somebody not to do something doesn't stop them from doing it. You also have to consider that when you're educating people. If you are using these substances, please don't use alone. Please get naloxone trained. Please reach out for support if you need it.
You just have to have the full continuum of care. We can't keep going back and forth. Just like we're not going to prescribe our way out of this, we're not going to treat our way out of this by sending people to treatment and recovery, because there's a back end to that as well. People need employment. People need purpose. I didn't need somebody to tell me how to live. I really needed people to show me how to live. That was the continuum of care with both harm reduction and recovery.
