Description (French)
Ce projet vise à offrir aux personnes ayant vécu et vivant l'expérience du programme Crystal Meth financé par le PUDS une formation pour devenir des pairs aidants. Cela leur permettra d'animer des groupes de soutien pour la communauté des consommateurs de stimulants, ainsi que d'établir et de maintenir des partenariats à Toronto. Les pairs aidants reçoivent une formation pour approfondir leurs connaissances actuelles en matière de réduction des risques et des besoins des consommateurs de stimulants, ainsi que leurs compétences en matière de leadership et de communication.
