As a component of the Substance Use Capacity Building Project, SafeLink Alberta has developed The Best Practices for Supporting People Who Use Substances Toolkit.
Over the past year, SafeLink Alberta conducted a review of available literature and consulted with people with lived and living experience, service providers who support people who use substances, and other industry experts to inform our Best Practices for Supporting People Who Use Substances Toolkit. As of January 2023, we have conducted 55 individual consultations with 31 people who use substances and 24 people who support people who use substances as a service provider.
