Addiction health education & recovery support
From risk communication and health education to family support, counseling and social recovery, the Association has worked across disciplines to support individuals and families.
Support for women who use drugs
Gender-responsive, trauma-informed case management linking medical, justice, mental-health, employment, parenting and social-service resources.
Youth & school prevention
Interactive education, life skills, family support and risk communication designed to strengthen health literacy and protective factors rather than rely on fear.
New immigrant & family support
Historical work includes family visits, parent education, early-intervention support for children, staff training, case discussions and career support.
Harm reduction & public health
Research, international exchange and professional education advancing harm reduction grounded in evidence, health, human rights and dignity.
Research & professional exchange
Research and professional exchange spanning addiction treatment, justice-system triage, HIV prevention, harm reduction policy and health promotion.
Support for women who use drugs
Association project records from 2021–2022 describe a community rehabilitation model built around case management, health education, counseling, psychotherapy, and coordinated medical, justice, employment, parenting and social-service resources.
Assessment & case management
Needs were assessed across substance use, mental health, daily life, family and community support, followed by individualized service planning.
Cross-sector coordination
Medical, justice, counseling, welfare, employment and parenting resources were connected to reduce gaps in care.
Gender- and trauma-responsive care
The model recognized trauma, intimate relationships, caregiving responsibilities and social roles as important parts of recovery.
