Get Support

FNHA

At the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), we see drug use as a health issue rather than a moral issue. We encourage you to adopt a harm reduction approach in your life and to have conversations about how to keep yourself, family members and friends safe. First Nations peoples are disproportionately represented in overdose deaths in BC. The FNHA is responding to this public health crisis with ways to get informed, get help and support others – with facts, services and compassion.
