Alcohol & Substance Abuse Program

The goal of the Substance Abuse Prevention Program is to develop community substance abuse prevention plans that are both wilp-based and individualized, which include the following components:

• community needs assessments to determine the extent and effects of substance abuse,

• systems for coordinating existing helping resources,​

• protocols for regular consultation with the huwilp and with families,

• culturally appropriate prevention and treatment strategies that are integrated with the development of health Gitxsan communities,

• identification of gaps in services, and strategies to develop appropriate programs to meet these needs, and

• promotion of health alternatives to substance abuse.

​We offer CONFIDENTIAL counselling services to members from Kispiox and Sik-e-dakh.
