Manitoba Harm Reduction Network training session 

MNPHA has engaged the Manitoba Harm Reduction Network (MHRN) to offer a course tailored to housing professionals about interacting with tenants, and how best to approach challenging situations involving substance use. The course will address internal biases, how to talk to someone who’s using substances, strategies on de-escalation, dealing with behaviour that you don’t understand, and helping people find ways to stay safe when they are exhibiting behaviours that place themselves or others at risk.

This session will be held in person from 9am to noon at the Downtown Commons, and includes coffee and a light breakfast. We recommend mask wearing when not eating or drinking, and ask anyone expereincing covid symptoms to forgoe the event and contact MNPHA for a refund.
