On this World Poisoning Awareness Day, let's engage in an open conversation about the risks of drug and alcohol poisoning, the dangers of mixing substances, and the importance of harm reduction. Harm reduction involves meeting individuals where they are, without judgment, and providing practical tools that can help reduce risks and save lives.

Awareness saves lives. 💜

Leaving can be an inevitable part of a journey; it is sometimes necessary for growth and sometimes forced. It hasn’t been easy departing from this location and letting go is even harder. Processing all the emotions it has brought up is even more challenging, but our fellow peer supporter has beautifully articulated many of our feelings in her poem, which serves as a farewell on behalf of us all.

I hope you all will appreciate this piece of art as much as we cherish it.

The poem is called “You will miss us” by Sharifah. You can read a text version of it in our latest newsletter: Krasman Centre's July Newsletter

Please visit us at our new location: Address: 145 Essex Avenue, Richmond Hill (Entrance at the rear of the building). More details about it are on our website and previous posts.
