Introduction<\/h2>\n

The driving force behind high-risk substance use is very complex and greatly impacts the health and safety of individuals and society. It has been shown that certain living and working conditions influence the likelihood of substance use issues in a person\u2019s life. For example, life and working conditions such as poverty, food insecurity, traumatic experiences, unemployment, homelessness, and others all increase the risk of high-risk substance use. The negative effects of substance use impact all levels of society \u2013 individuals, family and peers, and communities. An effective response to this complex issue needs to be collaborative and comprehensive with a suite of interventions focused on substance use health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Spectrum of Substance Abuse<\/h3>\n

Les gens consomment des substances pour toutes sortes de raisons : se d\u00e9tendre, s\u2019amuser, exp\u00e9rimenter ou g\u00e9rer le stress et la douleur. Pour certains, la consommation de substances pourrait ne causer aucun m\u00e9fait. Pour d\u2019autres cependant, elle pourrait avoir des cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives sur leur vie. On peut passer d\u2019un stade du spectre de la consommation de substances \u00e0 un autre, et pas n\u00e9cessairement dans l\u2019ordre ci-dessous.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame si ce spectre comprend la consommation b\u00e9n\u00e9fique et la consommation \u00e0 moindre risque, la SDAT met l\u2019accent sur la pr\u00e9vention et la r\u00e9duction des m\u00e9faits et des cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives li\u00e9s \u00e0 la consommation de substances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

In early 2021, TDAS was formed to better understand the local context of substance use and the associated harms. Since then, a lot of work has been carried out to assess available information, gather more, and create a Strategy that is truly for Timiskaming and by Timiskaming. The purpose of this Strategy is to build on the existing efforts in the Timiskaming area, inclusive of Temagami.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Structure<\/h3>\n

The Strategy is supported by a Steering Committee, four pillar working groups, three other working groups, and is grounded in an evaluation and surveillance framework. The Steering Committee provides leadership in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the strategy. It supports connecting the work of the four pillars, ensures all work is in alignment with our guiding principles and that the TDAS is evidence-informed with the opportunity to innovate. Some of the key roles of the Steering Committee include:<\/p>\n
