MSTH Connects: Involuntary Treatment: What are we Really Being Asked To Accept?

Across Canada, calls for involuntary treatment are gaining political and media traction – often framed as compassionate responses to the overdose crisis

Join us on Sunday, March 8 at 9am PT/12pm ET for our next MSTH Connects virtual event with Corey Ranger.

This MSTH connects webinar explores the evidence, ethics, and real-world impacts of coercive drug policy, including human rights considerations and evidence-based alternative that save lives.
