What a great video. Really shows the human impact of insensitive policing choices. I loved the extremely competent friends.

How about " hey... would you mind wearing long sleeve shirts at work? We can help you grab a few to get you started." I was super self conscious about marks from using on my body. They were everywhere though. Legs, arms, hands,. ankles, neck. Alot of bruises , more so than typical track marks. And i would always cover up even during the hot summer weather. Sucked. Much better now that i dont worry about that stuff anymore..😊

I lived in the DTES , was homeless and using ( just had a year not using but still on methadone) and knew lots of the usual crew down there ..and i instantly recognized the guy in the back using at yhe table. Then he leaves and she says 'see you later Moose"..and im like...THATS WHO IT IS!!! MOOSE! Aw.. cool to see hes still around and cool to see him involved in theae videos/ harm reduction info.

So true. If alcohol became illegal, the gangs would step up and sell it ..making huge profit. Oh wait...that has happened. Right. Also, interesting how the casual users of alcohol, cocaine, mushrooms etc are substances that take the longest to form a habit. Yet opioids only take about 3 days in a row of using before you wake up that fourth day not feeling good. Your body knows exactly what it needs. And so obviously you grab a bit more. Now you are stuck in the cycle.

Very well done.

This was hard to watch. And needs to be shared😢

Looking away is harassment😂

So beautiful thank you for all you do

This video is amazing thank you this really makes me more excited to get the training and certification in Peer Support Specialist I'am so very excited in my older age of 49. I got tired of going from Job to job and never being satisfied and now I have a desire and purpose to help those with whatever they need help with alcohol, drugs and digging a deep hole of desperation and not knowing how to get out of it, but there is way out of that hopelessness, using sexual manipulations., having very low self esteem and gaining esteem and loving myself all over again.

I'm getting ready to do orientation for Peer Support Specialist, I'm very excited for this opportunity in California where there is so much hurt in the community. I'm not from California I'm here caring or my mom in last stage of dementia. I know exactly what it's like to be an addict and walk away from that on my own, was homeless a couple times. I know the hurt I had to overcome. I have more hurt I'm a grieving mother whom raised 2 severely disabled sons whom passed away. I have overcame the grief with God's help. By being homeless and going to Heartland Family Service Peer Center I found out I had encouraged women to go to the peer center. Iam an encourager to people that are hurting... Have a great day, the Lord is with you always.

Actually you need 1 cups and a half each berry and nuts 5 different kinds of berries blue and black critical mixed nuts peanuts and flaxseed and almonds critical baby spinach salmon banana and protein milk this is called the antioxidants diet it cures all your problems in your organs over the course of a year you shit out even dead chunks of flesh and yellow ooze and black stuff but once it's all out you think normal again the body is connected to the brain the body runs in a circle your crazy literally because of your organs your body doesn't function right

After becoming mentally ill was my begining of substance abuse before mental illness i was against it

This msg is for Mat n Vancouver. I noticed that u had an upside-down cross on ur hat. What a terrible waste of a wonderful, beautiful human being such as urself if u were to do such good n ur life of serving others yet end up n hell afterwards only to suffer an eternity of torment. It wudn’t seem fair. Pls find Jesus as ur Savior. U r a soul that deserves to b n heaven bc u act as an angel to many, giving them 2nd chances. Love to u 💝

I feel like a disgrace. Today at work was awful. I was taken to my supervisor's office with her and a high-ranking chef. They (or mostly the chef) told me that I've been touching my coworkers too much. Not THAT type of touch, of course not! Just casual ones, like on arms or shoulders. I was always very outgoing at work. When I asked her if anyone reported a complaint, she said it didn't matter. She told me that we need the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment, and that I pretty much shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school (I work at a university's catering service). She told me I shouldn't tell my stories because they may be inappropriate to my coworkers. Now yeah, I pretty much don't have a filter, and sometimes I guess I do say inappropriate stuff at work, but not horribly nor intentionally. I like to joke around and have fun with my coworkers, but I guess it isn't like that after all (more or less). I really didn't get specific information from the chef about what and who. She understands and likes that I'm outgoing, but she made it sound risky and in need of limits, for good behavior and my coworkers' sake. And again, that I shouldn't touch my coworkers (shoulders or arms) without their consent. But seriously, I'm not a creep! I don't randomly hug people or anything like that. I didn't mean to be so "handsy" (I say loosely). I'm so embarrassed about the office lecture. I am not like Biden at all. I'm really not. Have I really gone that far at work? I already hate being on the spectrum, and sometimes I actually hate myself. I wish I could work somewhere, not only for my coworkers' sake (should that presumption be true) and myself, because I'm so ashamed.

Nice video, thanks

Cool video. Now I know just this much more about workplace behavior. With this information I am better prepared to behave more appropriately in my places of work and in doing so improve my employee performance and stay out of trouble.

Why was every aggressor male or brown except two in this video?

Thanks to the many peer support workers out there! Tracy i met you yesterday at the HUB. I have seen and heard about all your help with the folks of Maple Ridge i just wanted to say thanks for helping all the folks in my town!💗😊 I know the grip of drugs and we all deserve to live and be respected as humans!!

Unfortunately this is all too true

Lol

Traumas retain in people with very high arrogance. Entering (submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints (which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses, there are some springs of mother of God Maria that heal soul illnesses. What stands for the inferiority complex of boys in terms of penis length: every woman needs a length that is directly equal to the length of her vagina. There are women who need 15 cm, there are those who need 18 cm, and etc. This is because every human has its own physiology and body proportions. Every human race has its own physiology. Due to the fact that there were many peoples in the same territory and they allowed this sin to mix their seed with another people (through knowledge or unknowing or under the influence of magic spells) for example a man from the original people in the territory of present-day Sweden with a girl from the original people in the territory of present-day Mongolia. In the same country there may be people with different body physiology, although according to their passport they are all Greek or Hungarian or Italian and etc..

I live with HSV1&2 for more than 5 years but now I'm free, after taking Dr Abumere herbal

Please use the term Substance Use vs Drug Use. The word Drug is antiquated and has incredibly negative connotations

May I respectfully suggest there should be a Content Warning for this video? It seems to be that the subject matter could be extremely jarring for some folks. That said, very well done!

Thank you for this! Very informative.

Is she an actress or model?

Just found my girlfriend 2 nights ago on the bathroom floor unresponsive, purple, not breathing, no heart beat. I've never dealt with an overdose and i don't do drugs so this was all very new to me, but i knew she had a history of heroin use ans recognized what was happening. I was sure she was dead but started CPR anyway as I called 911. She never took a breath on her own for the entire 13 minutes I was giving her cpr but I did get her heart going again and just continued compressions and 2 breaths every 100 compressions until EMS arrived. Thankfully she's alive and doing well and recovering in the hospital now. I learned CPR years ago because I have 2 elderly parents. Never thought I'd need it but damn glad I knew how to do it.

Fuuuh <3

Holy shit, that's deep dude. And both those pictures are of me as a baby and in grade 1.

Thank you so much for making this beautiful video. I appreciate the work of peers. I will pass this along. Keep up the great job!

I'm listening and you play great and living DTES or ground zero Great message guys keep up the struggle Jasonvancouver

Everyone wants to decrease or eliminate the stigma associated with drug use and/or the people with a substance use disorder. In a nutshell, Stigma is discrimination and hate. It is obvious to me that one of the first things we can all do to accomplish this is to quit using the words that have been clinically proven to create said stigma. "Addict" being one of them. If we want change, sometimes we too must change. To learn what words are perpetuating this Stigma please go to the link provided which is the "Addictionary" (they will have a "Stigma Alert" beside them) and eliminate them from your vocabulary. :) www.recoveryanswers.org/addiction-ary/

Tracy, such a good job. If you ever need back-up, let me know
