DESHKAN ZIIBING (CHIPPEWAS OF THE THAMES FIRST NATION)— Efforts to fight a pandemic running parallel with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic— a wide-spread increase in dangerous drug use— are ramping up in Chippewas of the Thames First Nation (COTTFN) as the local harm reduction team renews contact with those affected by substance-abuse problems.
With weekly outdoor gatherings, a Community Fire event, and preparations for drive-in style appointments, the Cultural Harm Reduction Outreach Team in COTTFN is providing services in new and unique ways this fall, says Coordinator Ann Marie Proulx-White.
When her team was allowed back in the office in Sept., Proulx-White started hearing from community members that they need more supports and, in order to follow pandemic protocols, she felt her workers needed to go mobile and reach out to the community without being “in a confined building.”
