About the Course

This course was co-created by Good Night Out Vancouver and WILD Collaborative Harm Reduction Association. Development of this course was informed by focus groups conducted in Summer 2024 with hospitality and nightlife workers on Vancouver Island that have personal experience using alcohol and/or other drugs. This workshop and the focus groups that informed it was made possible through Island Health's Resilience & Safety Grants program.
