NATIONAL ADDICTIONS AWARENESS WEEK

WORKING TOGETHER FOR WELLNESS

Kamloops Activities

In Canada, for every ten individuals there is one
person suffering from some type of substance
disorder. As a nation we are all impacted by its
effects. Whether or not their disorder is visible or
hidden, we all know someone suffering. It may be
oneself, a colleague, a friend or a family member.

Addiction is not a choice; it is a serious health
condition that needs to be addressed. Join us
during National Addictions Awareness Week to
help reduce the stigma associated with substance
use.

Each evening we will be combining comfort
with culture and working together for wellness.
