Indigenous Women's Sharing Society

The Indigenous Women's Sharing Society, situated in Courtenay, British Columbia, hosts the Unbroken Chain- Harm Reduction program. Established in 2018 in response to the overdose epidemic, the initiative is supported by the First Nations Health Authority. The program offers assistance to those impacted by the crisis, including individuals with lived experiences, families, youth, and those facing or at risk of homelessness.

Services provided encompass outreach support, community education, youth outreach, resources, referrals, and case management. The Society's harm reduction initiatives include connections to Elders, healing circles, beading circles, talking and sharing circles, and community-building activities. Additionally, they conduct Naloxone training and serve as a distribution location for Naloxone kits.
