Canada is in the midst of a national overdose crisis, with opioids leading the charge. But to understand prevention, we need to take a closer look at the causes and risk factors.

Poverty, homelessness and trauma: These social determinants of health increase vulnerability to substance use and reduce access to healthcare and support.

Mental health challenges: Depression, anxiety, and unresolved trauma often occur with substance use, making it more difficult to break the cycle.

Stigma and discrimination: Many individuals fear judgement or legal consequences, preventing them from seeking help.

Rural and remote barriers: People living in isolated communities often have limited access to harm reduction services, addiction care, or even emergency support when an emergency occurs.

By identifying the vulnerable and acknowledging their unique challenges, we can tailor prevention efforts and make support more accessible to those who need it most.
