More people in Alberta are dying from opioid use than ever before. This includes young people—teens and young adults.
Here you’ll find resources and tools to help raise awareness, educate, and stop the stigma (prejudice and discrimination) of opioid use. They are brought to you by the Improving Treatment Together (ITT) project, a partnership between the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Resources include:
- videos of young people telling their stories of opioid use
- a search tool for when you or someone you know needs help
- opioid-related resources for young people, families, and caregivers
- videos to help service providers give care that’s right for young people and to show young people and their families what to expect when working with service providers
Find a service
The Addictions and Mental Health Service Search tool is easy to use. Anyone can use it to find the right service and get information about opioid treatments and services for young people.
