Compassionate Communities: Addiction, Recovery and Their Connection to the Poor
- Educational
- Social Justice & Advocacy
One of the most prevalent questions related to poverty is the seeming connection to the use of drugs and alcohol. Does addiction more often cause homelessness, or does being unhoused increase the likelihood of substance use? What attitude and posture are needed if we are going to find solutions? Join Jim Willis, Case management and support worker, Amanda Hintzen, Addictions Counsellor, Dr Jonathan Wong, ICHA street doctor, and Nithyen Manohar, ICHA street nurse, as we discuss the challenges of addiction, the paths to recovery, and how it affects the most vulnerable in our communities. Q&A to follow.
This is the next event in our Compassionate Communities series, offered in partnership by the Redeemer Explorers Committee of Church of the Redeemer and the Common Table. The event takes place on the main floor of the church and will be livestreamed through our YouTube channel.
