Description (French)
Cette initiative formera et soutiendra les personnes ayant une expérience vécue pour qu'elles travaillent en tant que navigateurs de première ligne pour les personnes qui consomment des substances et qui sont en transition vers des environnements communautaires après leur libération du Regina Correction Centre ou de la White Birch Remand Unit en Saskatchewan. Les services complets comprendront l'orientation vers des programmes cliniques et non cliniques, l'aide juridique, l'accès à des programmes clés d'aide au revenu, l'aide au logement, le conseil et l'évaluation des thérapies par agonistes opioïdes (TAO). L'EITCP est le fruit d'une collaboration entre la Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) et AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan (APSS).
