The Women and Harm Reduction in Ontario: A Capacity Development Toolkit by WHAI was developed to improve the work harm reduction programmes do with drug-using women.
This tool may be helpful for determining how easily the programme is accessible to drug-using women. As you become more knowledgeable about women and harm reduction, think about how you may make yourself more accessible. Keep in mind that increasing capacity is a process. Little, affordable actions can make a big difference in the health and happiness of drug-using women.
To aid frontline workers in their daily work, Connecting - A Guide to Utilizing Harm Reduction Supplies as Engagement Tools was created. This manual is a tribute to all those who have trusted frontline workers to share their insights. Programs and services are always evolving as a result of these ties and interactions.
The purpose of this toolkit is to improve the work harm reduction programmes do with drug-using women. It includes a number of tools that can be utilised in combination, apart, or in other inventive ways.
Organizations using this toolkit have to be using harm reduction programming and have a firm grasp of what harm reduction is.
This guide arose from the need to acknowledge the difficulty of death and to provide staff with support and a resource. Natural causes, accidental death, suicide, and overdose are all possible causes of death or near-death in violence against women (VAW) shelters. Deaths in the community, such as women killed by their partners, have a significant impact on VAW shelters. Regardless of where the death occurs, it is extremely difficult and traumatic for the organization and its employees. While deaths and near-deaths in VAW are uncommon, the issue of overdose deaths in the community as a whole is intensifying and growing, and this has the potential to impact the VAW sector.
