www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, March 12, 2015 | 26 Health The Halton Equitable Drug Strategy (HEDS) is looking for input to help shape its municipal drug strategy. The strategy "is a collaborative plan to improve the health, safety and well-being of all citizens within Halton Region by working together to reduce the harms associated with substance use," said Angus Coll-Smith, HEDS manager. The key purpose of a Halton drug strategy "Connected to your Community" HEDS looking for survey participants for its municipal drug strategy is to: · Prevent, reduce and eliminate discrimination and harms associated with substance use · Reduce fragmentation · Limit duplication of services · Ensure well-informed community activities · Improve access to community services · Ensure services are well-informed and of the highest quality "We are working from a four-pillar approach -- prevention, treatment, harm reduction, enforcement," said Coll-Smith. "The mission of HEDS is to develop a comprehensive equitable drug strategy for the community of Halton through an inclusive and collaborative process. "Community engagement is key to the development of a drug strategy and we know that we cannot have a truly comprehensive strategy without the voice of past and current substance users and their families." People who work in a sector related to substance use in Halton are invited to fill out the People in Paid Positions survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ LPH8TJH. Halton residents with their own experience around substance use (in recovery or current use), or who have been affected by the substance use of a friend or loved one, are invited to take the People with Lived Experience/Family Members survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/5PK9N3Z.
