As is the case across Canada, the province of British Columbia (BC) is in the midst of an overdose crisis that is having devastating impacts on youth and others who use drugs. Drawing on a published commentary with Canadian Journal of Public Health, advocacy efforts, clinical practice, and lived experience, this presentation will provide an overview of BC’s recent proposal to amend the Mental Health Act and sanction involuntary, hospital-based stabilization care of youth who overdose. This webinar will be held in English only.
