First Nations people face major challenges such as high
\nunemployment, poverty, poor access to education, poor
\nhousing, remote location from health services, the displacement
\nof Indigenous language and culture, and social
\nand economic marginalization; all of which continue
\nto impact their health and well-being. In this context,
\nsubstance use issues and associated mental health issues
\ncontinue to be some of the more visible and dramatic
\nsymptoms of these underlying challenges. The use and
\nabuse of substances has been consistently noted as a top
\npriority by First Nations people and leadership. In fact,
\na national survey of First Nations communities (completed
\nbetween 2008\u20132010) reported that alcohol and
\ndrug use and abuse was considered to be the number one
\nchallenge for community wellness faced by on-reserve
\ncommunities (82.6% of respondents), followed by housing
\n(70.7%) and employment (65.9%).1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
