About the Research & Dialogue Speaker Series

The "Research & Dialogue" speaker series places substance use research in dialogue with lived experience to put the latest evidence into real world context.

Each session is hosted online and takes place on the last Wednesday of the month from 12pm - 1:30pm. The sessions feature a research presentation, a response situated in lived and living experience, and a then Q&A with attendees.

We invite anyone with an interest in the substance use field to attend this speaker series. This includes people with lived and living experience, their friends and family, frontline responders, program and service providers, clinicians, policy makers, researchers and their staff, the media, and anyone in the general public.

The second volume in our series is now launching and will feature research and respondents from across the province. Watch this space for updates.
