They are actively involved, particularly in terms of prevention and awareness, but the resources are insufficient. Concerted actions must be implemented urgently. The Quebec government must make these social issues a priority so that we can address them together,\u201d said Ghislain Picard, Chief of the AFNQL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe effects of addictions, especially drug use, on our populations are devastating. Research findings reveal that First Nations are more likely than other populations to overdose and die as a result of drug addiction. Among the reasons are fragile social climate, intergenerational trauma and systemic racism in public services. It is urgent for us all to be proactive for the wellness of our youth, families and society as a whole,\u201d added Derek Montour, President of the FNQLHSSC Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today, at noon, let\u2019s walk together!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the initiative of the Innu Nation, several communities across the territory are walking at the same time today as a demonstration of solidarity in the fight against addictions and for collective wellness. Participants are invited to wear green, the colour of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About National Addictions Awareness Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National Addictions Awareness Week highlights solutions to help address the harms related to the use of alcohol and other drugs. It provides an opportunity for people in Canada to learn more about prevention and harm reduction, to talk about treatment and recovery, and to discuss solutions for change.
