Ending the epidemic of Crystal Meth in Dauphin is a goal for many groups in the community.
At the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba’s agency forum, this morning, ideas of how groups can work together were developed.
Kristen Porter, a Prevention Education Consultant with the Dauphin AFM shares some of the outcomes.
“So, one of the outcomes that came through this morning for us at the Addictions Foundation is that it’s clear that the community, the public, other agencies, would like more education. So that’s something that I’m looking at organizing. Kind of similar to how we did the fentanyl forum.``
She talks about what she will be doing.
“In my role, I’m going to make sure when I’m invited to community presentations or school presentations because I do a lot of that around the Parkland. But I will be making sure that I do include information about Crystal Meth to help educate at the youth level or community level.”
There has been an increase in the number of people who use crystal Meth, with many of the users suffering from homelessness and other problems along with addiction.
