Description
"Significant progress has been made over the past three decades within Aboriginal communities to address one of their most urgent, widespread, and long-standing social and health issues—that of addictive behaviours. There are now many stories from individuals, families, and communities that have progressed on their healing journeys. This report shares some of these stories and highlights some promising practices that have shaped their success" (Addictive Behaviours Among Aboriginal People in Canada, Introduction, pg. 2).
