CPHA: Involuntary Stabilization Care of Youth Who Overdose (Part 2)

  • 16 Sep 2021
  • 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
  • Webinar

In February 2021, the Harm Reduction Nurses’ Association and CPHA presented a webinar on proposed amendments to British Columbia’s Mental Health Act that would allow for involuntary, hospital-based stabilization care of youth following an overdose (Bill 22), and discussed the potential harms and disproportionate impacts Bill 22 could have on youth and ethical issues associated with detention-based treatment.  This follow-up panel discussion broadens the discussion to include additional perspectives from youth, families, advocates and academics. The presentations and discussion will highlight a range of perspectives on involuntary stabilization care and share insights on efforts to support youth who use drugs.

In advance of this webinar, we recommend watching Involuntary Stabilization Care of Youth Who Overdose: More Harm than Good (Part 1).
