Building Hope: Substance Use in the Trades Webinar

Video by Tides of Change Community Action Team

This webinar discusses the significant risks and challenges faced by men in the trades, who account for a large proportion of overdose deaths in Canada. The film within the webinar features four men from the construction industry sharing their experiences with substance use and offering advice on staying safe in the era of toxic drug supply.

The webinar aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage help-seeking among tradespeople. Supervisors and employers are encouraged to show this educational film at safety meetings to foster a safer and more supportive work environment.
