That’s a Wrap on our National Substance Use Health Week of Action.
This past week, we showed what it really means to take action — not just talk about it.
Thousands showed up at WOW Festival
150+ organizations came together across sectors
We reimagined care, challenged policy, and exposed how stigma shows up in systems, services, and everyday language.
One thing was clear: this is just the beginning.

📅 JOUR 5 : PRATIQUEZ LA COMPASSION
Non comme un sentiment, mais comme une compétence.
📊 77 % des Canadiens souhaitent disposer d'espaces de soins de santé sûrs et empathiques pour parler de leur utilisation de substances, sans craindre les conditions ou les conséquences.
Qu'est-ce qui changerait si chaque conversation sur la santé liée à l’usage de substances commençait par de la compassion ?
La compassion n'est pas seulement une valeur, c'est une compétence qui peut être apprise, pratiquée et intégrée dans les soins.

📅 DAY 5: PRACTICE COMPASSION
Not as a feeling, but as a skill.
📊 77% of Canadians want safe, empathetic healthcare spaces to talk about substance use — without fear of conditions or consequences.
What would change if every conversation about substance use health started with compassion?
Compassion isn’t just a value — it’s a skill that can be learned, practiced, and embedded into care.
