The Workforce Program provides access to PA (e.g., various formulations of prescribed fentanyl, opioid agonist treatment) to individuals employed in harm reduction roles. An interdisciplinary healthcare team provides wrap-around psychosocial support to participants.

This webinar will share evaluation findings of the Workforce Program, including participant outcomes and experiences, as well as recommendations.
