LHEIDLI T’ENNEH TERRITORY—The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) Northern Region is funding a new outreach worker position to support members from Northern B.C. First Nations communities struggling with addiction in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
The position will be available for a two year period and will increase the capacity of the All Nations Outreach Society that currently supports Indigenous people living away from home.
“In addressing the toxic drug emergency for BC First Nations people living away from home in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, the FNHA is embedding culture and cultural safety at every stage. By adding outreach workers to support Northern community members living in the Downtown Eastside, FNHA is creating a pathway back to community, back to culture, back to treatment and help,”
said FNHA CEO Richard Jock.
