In this project, we have documented the not-for-profit organizations’ practices and analyzed them through lenses of different issues in public health and public policy. Although these organizations had various histories and domains of activity, they were all are active in programs which could have been viewed as contributing to the promotion of healthy public policies.
We have also developed two documents on the education and distribution of naloxone in which not-for-profit organizations are often involved.
Overdose Prevention Programming: Education and Naloxone Distribution – Practical Guide
Opioid Use in Canada: Preventing Overdose with Education Programs & Naloxone Distribution
The Use of Health Knowledge by Not-for-profit Organizations: Taking a Look at Their Policy-influencing Practices
Exemplary Partnerships for Low-threshold Services: The PHS Community Services Society and Vancouver Coastal Health
